Introduction to the course
This Mastering People Management & Team Leadership training course enables experienced managers to ‘master’ people management & to have confidence that team leadership can be taught and makes a tangible difference to the manager, the team and the organization. An important area is that the difference between leadership and management is essential to understand.
But what makes a leader truly credible? Why and how are followers actually inspired? Part of the answer is the ability to ‘influence’ others – organisations get more from motivated teams than groups of individuals. Leadership makes this happen; it is a skill that involves understanding a number of core management concepts then being able to put these into practice. This training course equips experienced managers with leadership tools that enable them to thrive in any situation.
This training course will highlight:
- How to be more effective, increase personal impact, make better use of time, and delegate appropriately
- Appreciate the benefits of clear communication, influence through building rapport, how to recognize and then manage conflict
- Key factors and steps in team building, people management and how to motivate
- Mastering people management & team leadership through dynamic coaching, mentoring and development
- Understanding and defining the key aspects and potential of your role

This training course uses a range of approaches to learning, including experiential group activities, individual exercises, mini-case studies, role plays and syndicate discussions. Formal inputs are used to introduce underpinning theory.
