The leap from team member to manager is one of the toughest career steps. Our interventions equip first-time managers with a robust toolkit, from foundational management to handling difficult conversations and fostering innovation. We help new managers step into their roles with confidence, supporting your organisation’s seamless succession planning.
For experienced managers, the focus is on advanced skills like adaptability, situational leadership, and strategic thinking. We help them build engaged, productive teams, especially in remote settings. Both new and seasoned managers benefit from our practical, immersive tools, emphasising self-awareness and continuous improvement to help them lead more effectively in today’s dynamic workplace.
We begin by getting a detailed understanding of where your managers are currently, their challenge areas, skills gaps or behaviours they need to develop.
Conversations with the managers give us vital context to feed into the design and enable us to tailor a manager development programme that fits exactly what they need, typically including one or more of the modules listed here.
The leap from team member to team manager is a challenging transition. Our modules for new managers feature interventions that help them step into their new role with confidence and self-awareness, by equipping them with a toolkit of practical skills and understanding of styles and approaches.
Manage the journey from good to great. This module provides managers with real-world performance management tools and techniques. From SMART goals and celebrating success, to constructive feedback and delivering tough messages, you will learn how to apply them in any situation, so you can drive continuous performance.
Drawing on key psychological insights and real-world applications, this module allows managers to tap into the power of collaboration. From fostering open communication to resolving conflicts constructively, tailored interventions help managers build a culture where collaboration is ingrained in every aspect of their team's approach.
When your business' challenges evolve daily, success is dependent on how managers deal with them. From an understanding of the types of change and people's reaction to them, this suite of interventions provides participants with the skills and know-how to successfully lead and manage your teams through times of change.
What got you here may not get you there. For many 'accidental' managers, the qualities that made them stand out candidates for the position don’t always translate to their new role. It can leave them short of ideas and low on confidence. From practical skills such as managing their time, prioritising tasks and running TOP meetings, to coaching conversations and inspiring teams, this module equips managers with the 'hard' and 'soft' skills to be effective and impactful leaders from day one.
Delegation is a critical management skill, but doing it effectively requires trust, communication and a willingness to support and empower team members. Covering aspects such as identifying suitable tasks to delegate, the common pitfalls and how to delegate to develop, this module supports managers' efforts to enhance the capability and capacity of their teams by delegating effectively.
Investing in the wellbeing and resilience of your people is more than a nice to have, it's essential for sustained success. This comprehensive module furnishes managers with an understanding of the impact of stress, the triggers and early warning signs and the tactics to build resilience and emotional regulation.
Great teams are built, nurtured and continually developed. This module helps managers transform their teams into high-performing units providing them with an understanding of the fundamental disciplines that make a great team, from team culture to resolving conflict, and how to work with them to create collective excellence.
The commercial and cultural benefits of EDI are well-documented, and managers need to create an inclusive environment where everyone can thrive. Our interventions go beyond the legal requirements, upskilling delegates in how to leverage the enablers of EDI, and also navigate the obstacles, to create an environment that taps into the power of diverse perspectives.
In today's complex world, managers need to be able to make sound decisions and solve problems effectively. Through the introduction of structured problem-solving methods and decision making frameworks, this programme provides managers with the tools required to do so.
Even seasoned managers need to consciously and continuously refine their skills. Our adaptability and situational leadership focused interventions go beyond theoretical knowledge, providing managers with immersive experiences, advanced tools, and ongoing support.
A manager's ability to lead others and 'walk the talk' is intrinsically linked to their capacity for self-management. Whether it's using tried and tested tools such as 360-degree feedback or psychometrics to increase self-awareness or explore emotional intelligence, this module has all the tools required to help managers show up authentically to their teams and for themselves.
“The programme has yielded some fantastic results, which I have witnessed first-hand through a line manager population that is more open and transparent with one another. We have seen that line managers have built up their confidence, improved their communication skills, and have been implementing their learnings by constructively challenging and providing feedback.”
