People Leadership Skills

Written By Kathryn White

Turbulent times demand greater people management skills. Staff naturally turn to their management for clear direction, feedback and development. This one-day course is designed for experienced managers to hone their skills as people leaders.

This course will help good managers become strong leaders. It is designed to help delegates reassess their purpose and responsibility. One size no longer fits all, and the course helps managers to modify their style to fit the needs of their teams and tasks. Pressure on resources makes productivity a challenge for the modern manager. The course therefore looks at increasing team effectiveness through motivating performance via real delegation and empowerment.
