Please note this is an in-person course delivered from our George St, Edinburgh offices.

Overview:

People management is often the biggest concern of team leaders, supervisors and managers, which is understandable given that it is a fundamental to being a great manager.

This interactive 2 days of practical learning and training covers tools and techniques to get the best out of your people including delegation skills, team engagement and holding people to account. You will learn active listening and good questioning techniques, fundamental to handling difficult conversations and people. It will share the five steps to having great delivery conversations and how to adapt your approach to different people and scenarios. We explore how to create working environments where people feel empowered and engaged.
