Leadership and Management Course – 2 Days

Teacher

Become a better, more effective leader

This 2 day “Essential Leadership & Management Skills” course will give managers, supervisors and team leaders the skills and training they probably never received when first promoted. We have found that the majority of people in a management position have been asked to “learn as they go” and have never received the essential leadership training that is required to help them perform effectively in their role. So we have carefully put together this 2 day Leadership training course to give you the confidence, skills and tools required to proceed in this very challenging area. Using a blend of theory and practice to facilitate your learning, we’ll help increase your confidence, leadership and supervisory skills in a safe, controlled and non threatening environment.

A large part of Leadership is having an understanding of how other people behave and react in given situations.

In order to enhance the quality and effectiveness of this course, we include a DiSC Behavioural Profile Report for every delegate in attendance, and the course trainer will dedicate part of the session to explaining how this extremely powerful and practical tool can be used and applied in the workplace in a wide variety of Management situations.

Each delegate will be required to complete a 10 minute online questionnaire in advance of the course which will generate a 20 page personalised report giving a very detailed insight into your own particular “behavioural style”, which will be yours to keep and take away.

Book Your Place

In House Training

If you have 4 delegates or more who require training in this area, it is often more cost effective for us to come and deliver the training "in-house" at your workplace, wherever you are located in the UK.

We can either deliver the course as "Standard" as described above, or we can offer a more "Customised" version where we re-design the content and create Case Studies and Group Exercises that are "tailored" to your industry/sector/company, and will focus on the particular issues you are looking to have addressed within your team.

To maximise the learning opportunity for the delegates in attendance, we can train a maximum of 12 people on this course in any one session.
