This online training session is for busy people who want to be able to manage their time better. Anyone at any level of their organisation will benefit from the strategies and techniques discussed throughout this intensive 3-hour training which is specially designed to provide delegates with the most effective skills and techniques in the shortest possible time.

People Mamangement

Date: 12/10/2021

Time: 09:30 - 12:30

Price: £45.00

Very few people would be able to prove that managing people or managing difficult people comes to them naturally. We tend to develop our people skills as we go through our careers and learn from the people we meet. Unfortunately, this means that we
learn from great bosses as well as from bad! So it comes as no surprise that, according to the 2015 research by Gallup, around 50% of people are leaving their jobs because of their boss. In other words, close to a half of managers and supervisors have difficulty in managing people. In turn, this lack of people management skills translates into significant financial and non-monetary losses.
In this online training session, you will learn best practices and behaviours to help you build key components that make up an effective and successful manager able to get the best from people. It offers an interactive and experiential approach to learning which is suitable for both, new team leaders and managers, and for those with experience who would like to enhance their people management skills.
The training course will cover the following key elements:
 A Model for Management Excellence.
 Managing with Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Agility.
 Achieving goals through people.
 Good practice in setting objectives and delegating.
 Performance management cycle.
 Developing others to achieve their potential.
 Using mentoring and coaching skills to build performance.
