Spotlight on: Effective Management Skills
The human element is the core of any business, but sometimes managing those humans can be a challenge. Our Effective Management Skills course aims to fix that problem by teaching participants practical strategies and techniques to bring out the best in people and that can be applied the same day. Here’s the course description:
Everyone agrees that the most important asset of any organization is the human asset. Thus, the all important question becomes – How much untapped potential, energy, commitment and creativity currently exists within your organization, team or department? What would it mean to your culture and bottom-line if you could learn to unleash just 10% more of the latent human potential?
This course is for all managers, supervisors, team leaders or anyone who is responsible for achieving results through people and who want to bring the best out in people.
Participants will deepen their understanding of motivation, engagement, delegation / empowerment and practical feedback skills in this interactive (NO role plays), high energy and thought-provoking seminar.
Participants will learn proven, powerful and practical strategies and techniques that will last a life-time and can be applied the next day.
