Training Course On management Transition

INTRODUCTION

The opportunity of a move to management is both exciting and alarming. What will the role entail? What will my responsibilities be? How will I learn to be an effective and respected manager? Will it affect my relationships with my friends and colleagues? This course seeks to reassure and build confidence by explaining the role and capabilities that are required. Participants will have the opportunity to explore current thinking on what good practice entails. Through self-assessment they will gain understanding of their own capabilities and identify further development needs going forward.

In the 21st Century the world of work is changing. New technologies are being introduced which affect how work is done, how we communicate, how information is shared and the insights it delivers are used and hence who makes decisions and how. Organisational structures and hierarchies are having to adapt. Most jobs require knowledge workers, highly skilled and educated, who demand opportunities for growth, stimulation and development. Traditional approaches to motivating staff and opportunities for career development are changing. Management has always been complex topic and must now adapt to the changing work environment. This training course offers staff transitioning into management roles or needing development once in a new role, the opportunity to find out what management involves in an informative, fun and challenging way. It will enable you to work towards becoming the manager ‘you wish to be’.
