The 10-day International Management Programme

High quality management & leadership skills contribute immensely to the improved effectiveness of organisations. However, organisations in both the public and private sectors are facing changes driven by political, economic, sociological, technological, legal and environmental issues. In order to successfully meet these challenges, organisations need to ensure that their managers and leaders at all levels have a comprehensive understanding of their roles, goals and required competencies.

This training course is designed to meet the demands of current and future leaders. Delegates will be given the opportunity to examine their personal style of management and team leadership through a variety of self-evaluation models, tools and profiling instruments. We will uncover the building blocks to mastering world-class management and leadership capability, whilst exploring the factors which contribute to making a truly high performing team.
