Starting to Lead

Editable training materials providing an introduction to leadership for new managers. Get materials for BOTH face to face and virtual delivery at no extra cost.

Many managers are promoted as a result of technical excellence, which is important for the job. However, managers also need to be able to plan, organise, support, develop, communicate and manage performance AS WELL AS complete technical aspects of their job.  

This workshop is all about managing yourself: recognising your own strengths and weaknesses as well as considering what the role of a Manager is REALLY about. You can’t manage others if you don’t start with yourself.  

By completing this Power Hour Session, delegates will be able to:     

  • Describe what leaders and managers DO
  • Explain the main skills and behaviours of a good manager
  • Identify their own personal strengths and potential weaknesses in terms of managing people

To get a flavour of the core session, you can download our free Key Points Sheet and view the optional Power Point Slides in PDF format on the next page. Click 'Buy Now' and BEFORE you purchase, you can look at those free of charge. Remember... Much more detail is included in the training session plan and detailed delegate workbook which you get when you purchase.
