Leadership Essentials for Managers
A practical programme for new and recently promoted managers on setting expectations, giving feedback and leading a team through change.
About this programme
Most people are promoted because they were good at the technical work, then discover that managing is a different job entirely. This programme covers the parts nobody hands over: setting expectations clearly, having the conversation you have been avoiding, and keeping a team steady when priorities shift.
Sessions use situations the participants bring, so the practice is immediately recognisable.
What you will learn
- Set expectations that are specific enough to be assessed
- Give corrective feedback without damaging the relationship
- Delegate with the right level of support and follow-up
- Run a performance conversation that changes something
- Communicate change to a team that did not choose it
