Introduction

This is a three day workshop that covers the important management skills of Leadership, Teambuilding, Communication and Motivation. The format allows for the module to be split over a number of weeks or to be completed in a single block. The use of a number of exercises demonstrates the principles of supervising and managing people and allows the delegates to practice their skills in a "safe environment".

The course concentrates on the people management issues rather than commercial awareness, building confidence and an understanding of how to achieve results through the team.

Who should attend:

This three day programme has been specifically designed for people who have little or no experience of supervising or managing others or who have some experience but no formal training in this area.

Maybe they are wondering if this is for them? Or what is involved? Or what do they have to do? What exactly is supervision and would they be any good at it? Or is what they are doing now the right thing?

At the end of the programme, they will see that leading people is a skill that can be learnt by most people. Understanding how people react in certain circumstances as well as understanding their own abilities can be very rewarding and enjoyable. The course also prepares the way for more comprehensive training, e.g. The Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) Introduction to Supervisory Management level 3 programme, should you wish to continue to develop their skills in this area.

Course outcomes:

By the end of the module, the delegates will have a good understanding of team performance, the importance of good communication and the basic principles of leadership. This module is particularly suitable as a vehicle for assessing management and leadership potential.

Teaching methods:

There will be a mixture of theoretical input from the tutor along with opportunities for experiential learning, and practice and discussion in small and large groups
