CORE SKILLS FOR EFFECTIVE MANAGEMENT

We can develop with and for you workshops designed to tool your managers in the critical skills and behaviours they may currently lack:  skills and behaviours that mean they will ultimately add more to the bottom line.  Or, as is increasingly common, we can combine this approach with one-to-one or small group coaching over time as a cost-effective way to provide on-time results to individual or common issues in the workplace.

We firmly believe that one-off programmes with no follow-up do not work.  This is increasingly the belief of Global 500 companies too.  So we aim to design programmes that promote self-development, ongoing coaching and mentoring and monitoring real-life work issues which test the application of specific tools and techniques we have transferred.

Our management skills programmes will help managers:

• Understand what skills are core to management effectiveness
• Acquire the skills needed to manage people teams & processes
• With feedback about their management and leadership style, development areas, ideas to develop their competence
• With other tools, suggested reading to help them self-study and develop over time

We are flexible, responding to the precise needs of your organization.  Instead of a list of off-the-shelf courses we can build something from any number of modules to tackle the issues you face.  The list below shows a selection of content we can use to develop a programme of development specifically for your needs.

For those moving into more senior leadership roles look also at our two sample leadership workshop outlines - because any of the modules included in these can be taken out and rebuilt as custom workshops for your managers.

Feel free to email us (info@indigotraining.net) for more information on any of these topics:
