Managing for better performance

A two day session aimed at helping team leaders/managers to improve the performance of their team. Ideal for first time managers or those who have particularly challenging staff!

These highly interactive sessions focuses upon common every day issues faced by team leaders and managers. Motivating and communicating with team members are addressed and in particular we have a great choice of strategies for handling those awkward conversations with underperformers.

The sessions use a technique called ‘Forum Theatre’ which means that professional actors are used to role play so that you don’t have to! No PowerPoint, and no long boring lectures; just issues that are relevant, and no role play, unless you want to ! The days are injected throughout with live comedy and drama demonstrating relevant techniques, and a chance to discuss options for handling work based issues. We have small numbers and everyone goes away with a personal action plan to manage when they get back at work. Our management and leadership training sessions have always proved both popular and effective and we have many happy customers to prove it.
