ECMS Short Course: Effective Team Leadership Training

Outline of the Course

 Great managers are admired, good to be around and make things happen.  They understand their role and engage with organisational objectives and their people with equal ability and confidence.

However, many people find themselves promoted into management or supervisory positions because they are good at something. Unfortunately, they are inexperienced in management techniques and need training and support to be effective.

Management is not about doing the things you are good at, but about getting things done through other people. That is a different skillset and not one we are born with. However, the overriding consensus in the workplace is that “every team needs a leader”.  The modules in this course helps those who want to be successful leaders
