LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT DEVELOPMENT

Perform With Excellence

Most people would agree that the capability to perform with excellence in the competitive external environment depends to a large degree, on the success of an organization’s leaders and their people.

To help you develop organizational performance through more effective leadership and management, we can help you by designing and running tailored short workshops to address specific needs or longer programs covering a range of topics.

Philosophy

We believe that the following principles are important:

• That managers benefit from understanding the dynamics of the competitive external environment, relevant to their sector, and this understanding helps them to orientate their learning and development
• Personal development is more successful when undertaken in the context of understanding the needs of their organization and its business aims, together with their personal learning style preferences
• Senior managers are more helpful to managers in implementing learning to benefit the business if they are engaged in the development effort

Learning Methods

You will be aiming to bring about positive change and performance improvement through building leadership and management capability. Our approach is to design and run highly interactive and practical learning events to develop managerial capability and facilitate performance improvement.

These include short inputs on the principles of the learning topics and other practical sessions such as: case studies, practical individual and group exercises, diagnostic questionnaires, group discussions and project work to apply to work situations.

Our style of delivery is relatively informal and flexible to allow for managers’ different learning styles. The importance of preparing for the transference of learning to work is prioritised and we help managers develop learning implementation plans.

Maximising Learning

We understand that your overall aim for managers’ learning and development is to develop their effectiveness in current roles and to develop their potential for future roles.

To help managers get the most out of learning and development, we encourage the understanding of each individual’s personal learning style. Also important is ensuring that participating managers can work together effectively.

To enable participants to maximise their learning capabilities, start personal leadership development, develop group working capability and improve decision making, we suggest including some time on effective learning.
