Building Brilliant Managers

Management development that works

This “Building Brilliant Managers” development programme will enable your new and existing managers to contribute more quickly and more effectively to the bottom line performance of your business.  We will work with you to identify your specific business needs, and focus on rapidly improving the productivity and quality of performance of your managers.  This Management Development Programme will make sure that your managers:

  • Develop a clear understanding of the principles of managing and driving performance and the confidence and skill to implement these principles to improve bottom line performance in your business.
  • Create a clearer understanding of the different roles of leadership and management and develop the different skills which both disciplines demand and the ability to apply their skills to lead and manage their people effectively.
  • Develop the skills to lead, manage and inspire their teams to become high performing, and to take responsibility for ensuring that their teams deliver outstanding results.
  • Understand and apply the basic principles of project management to plan and prioritise, delegate and follow critical paths to ensure consistent delivery of business critical outcomes.
  • Develop their ability to translate their learning into practical and measureable changes in behaviour back in their place of work.
  • Apply their learning to a specific work based project which will deliver tangible, measurable results and ROI for YOUR business.

This “Building Brilliant Managers” programme is designed to be ‘fun’ and not a threat to personal credibility, and so your people are generally more prepared to ‘be themselves’ and say what they really feel and openly discuss their day to day challenges.  The key to success then lies in the outstanding ability of those brilliantly facilitating the event to draw the parallels between your manager’s experiences on the course and their real experiences back at work.

Throughout this programme, we will set aside time to explore specific work related issues and where necessary the itinerary will be changed as the course progresses to accommodate those discussions and to find enduring solutions to resolve them.
