So you have been in your job for a while now. Are you the best you can be to get the best out of your direct reports? Are there still niggly little problems with staff that you have not found a solution for? Have you learned to let go of doing it all yourself?
If you are expecting your direct reports to get better at what they do but are not into improving your own capabilities, what example does that set?
This course is designed to be the next step for managers who have some experience at people management but would like to finesse their existing skill set and add to their toolbox. It revises concepts such as goal setting and feedback. It examines various theories of motivation and introduces techniques to support the theory. The course then looks at differences in people through the lens of Myers Briggs Type Indicator and the various issues this can create and what to do about it.
Day two introduces the concepts of coaching and mentoring and provides methods for you to incorporate these ideas into your management routine. Day three then examines the idea of leadership through the situational Leadership Model and how you can adapt your leadership style as your direct reports grow in their capabilities and accountabilities.
