The Complete Team Leader
Today’s ‘flattened’ organisational and management structures place far greater demands on the Team Leader. It creates a need for a broader level of knowledge, awareness and skills to operate effectively in an increasingly competitive business environment. Greater responsibility has devolved to teams - which are now often accountable for maintaining and improving their own performance - to support achievement of overall company goals.
Who should attend?
This programme is directed at practising and aspiring team leaders and junior managers from all sectors of industry and commerce, including service sectors. The programme is suitable for those who are new to the role and need to quickly establish credibility, and for those who have some experience of the role but would benefit from structured development.
