The Course

All businesses in the current climate need a competitive edge. This can be gained through innovative and exciting products and services, or through effective and efficient world class employees.

Top performing organisations are passionate about their most valuable resource - their staff. In order to maintain their high standards a large proportion of their time and energy is spent on continuous professional development, not only of their employees, but of their business.

Teams that find solutions together make things happen. They are committed to getting the job done in the fastest and most efficient way. This doesn’t happen by accident, it is down to the leadership, trust and teamwork. The finest teams have a clear direction and a route to reach their ultimate goal.

This highly interactive programme investigates the tried and trusted leadership and management processes, procedures and methodology used by many blue chip organisations to achieve outstanding results. They utilize highly efficient management tools to develop high levels of performance from their staff. This in turn ensures the future and reputation of their companies through innovative development, service and evaluation. This course offers participants practical solutions to work related issues.

During the workshop you will explore a variety of behaviours, discuss leadership styles and learn how to get the most out of your staff by using state of the art techniques such as Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Emotional Intelligence (EQ).

This course will give you the knowledge and understanding you need to move forward with enthusiasm and assurance. You will feel able to build a productive and cohesive unit, establishing strong working relationships with people at all levels. As you gain in experience and confidence, you will be recognised as an able and supportive supervisor, leader and manager by your company and colleagues.
