Developing Management Practice

Positioning you to get results with your team… Over two short intense modules at Henley you will gain tools and strategies to manage your team to achieve more. You will cover team management skills such as:

• Motivating individuals
• Change management & supporting others through change
• Performance management
• Understanding people and relationships.

…Whilst not forgetting your own development Recognising that managers need to simultaneously practice good team management whilst delivering on their own objectives and progression, this programme addresses personal development topics such as:

• Self-awareness
• Time management
• Personal branding and networking
• Inspirational leadership.

At every step the focus is on practical application. Pre-programme psychometrics, practical exercises and 1:1 coaching ensures individual relevance and impact throughout.

Gain perspective, gain confidence To achieve great results an organisation requires every employee to work hard, and to continually develop their skills, to push the business forward; managers obviously play a crucial role in making this happen, with responsibility not only for their own performance but also for that of their team.

Management is a valuable and often under-developed skill. When exceptional functional performers are promoted to management roles they are immediately required to draw on new and very different skills, including a mind-set shift from self to team. Yet it is often assumed that excellence in a functional role will directly translate to excellence in a management role, without any additional support or development.

Managing your team, managing your own progression Time is limited and you may often feel you need to juggle your own productivity with spending time with your team. You are also balancing requirements from your manager and senior team, keeping your own motivation high and ideally planning your own next steps in the organisation.

Managing a team is an art and one quite different to the functional role you may have begun in. But this programme will give you more than management skills; this is also about fulfilling your own potential and positioning you with the confidence and resilience for your own next steps.
