| Many middle managers have a wealth of experience at handling day to day management issues and are now ready for a bigger challenge. Are there extra skills they need to acquire to prepare them for the next level of leadership?
There may of course be some technical skills that are industry or company specific. In fact the further up the company ladder one goes the less one is required to use technical skills. But are there universal skills that apply regardless of industry or company? The more senior the position the more the task is about getting results through others.
This programme is about exploring and mastering those skills that will comfortably take you to the next level of competence – from manager to leader. It begins with a robust review of the core skills of managing people such as goal setting, delegating, and all the subsequent follow up, control and review processes that keep individual team members on track.
It then gives participants an insight into what drives individual behaviour. Next it helps participants to pinpoint the cultural style of their organisation and understand the inherent strengths and weaknesses of that culture.
The programme then examines team dynamics in the context of the culture and looks at functional and dysfunctional behaviour and how dysfunctional behaviour can be reshaped. It also highlights how easy it is for the leader to unwittingly set people up for failure and how this can be avoided.
The whole complex area of motivation, reward and getting the best from the team is explored in detail. Some of the motivational ideas explored are counter-intuitive.
Influencing skills becomes a critical issue when you are trying to persuade those above you to take certain courses of action. Powerful weapons of influence will be revealed and applied to different styles of decision makers who are influenced in different ways.
Whereas management is about maintaining the status quo leadership is about creating change. This programme helps leaders to understand the difference and equips them with a range of leadership styles and tools to make that happen.
Finally participants spend some time making action plans for what they want to change when they get back to their own environment.
