For Managers

We know that great managers want to get the very best from their team however, we also know that without the right support, it can be a challenging role.

We often see, across industries, that managers are promoted on the basis of them being great at their previous role and therefore stepping up to manage the team they part of. We call these accidental managers.

We believe in managers and the amazing impact that they can have on their teams development, effectiveness and overall success. But we also believe that to achieve the above, managers need the right support in place. Welcome to Management Essentials!

Whether you are a new manager, an established manager or someone aspiring to achieve a management role in the future, we can help! We can’t wait to support you in achieving your vision of being a great manager through this practical, toolkit based and down to each training programme.

Do you want to:

Learn about tools and techniques you can use to get the best from your team?
Develop more confidence in leading your team to success?
Understand practical ways to develop your team including how to have great feedback conversations?
Feel more successful as a manager?

How we can help

Our Management Essentials Programme equips managers with key skills, techniques
and the right mindset to lead their team.

Management Self Assessment

Ahead of the programme commencing, managers are invited to complete a Management Competencies self-assessment so they can consider where their strengths and perceived gaps are when it comes to effective management.

Three in-person training days

Over the course of 3 in person training days, managers learn about:

What the role of the manager is and what a great manager looks like
The key skills, knowledge and behaviours needed to achieve success
Communication skills and coaching techniques to get the best from their team
The art of managing performance positively by setting clear goals and action plans
How to align the team with the wider business goals and priorities
Leading actionable 121 meetings and how to review goals effectively
How to encourage accountability from the team when it comes to their own performance
Essential feedback skills to support with the teams ongoing development
How to motivate and drive positive performance from the team
Delegation skills to increase the skillset in the team and reduce single person dependencies.

1-2-1 action planning

At the end of the programme, all attendees have a 121-action planning session with the programme facilitator which brings together the key actions they are taking away from the programme and crucially, how they intend to implement their learning.

What do you need to join the programme?

All we ask from those joining the programme is to come along with an open mind, willingness to learn and to put your learning into practice. As well as your commitment to attend all aspects of the programme of course.

Where is the programme held?

We believe the best training experiences happen in person. Our open programmes are held at a training suite just off the M62 in Leeds where you can take advantage of the wonderful facilities as well as free car parking.
