Becoming Management Material Training Course

This three-part module is a tool for your leadership development. At its core, leadership means setting goals, lighting a path and persuading others to follow.

Leaders must get their message out in a way that inspires, makes the most of their limited time and build roads to precious resources. They must negotiate alliances, improve their colleagues and align ambitions of many with the needs of the organisation.

What makes for a great leader? Is it something to do with inward characteristics, such as confidence and focus? Or, is it more about outward presence, including charm and compassion? Perhaps it is about the ability to create a vision and get others to commit to it.

The answer is all of the above. By accepting the challenge to lead, you come to realise that the only limits are those that you place on yourself.

This three part course will help you:

• define your role as a manager and identify how that role differs from other roles you have had
• understand the management challenge and the new functions of management
• discover how you can prepare for and embrace the forces of change
• identify ways to get you and your workspace organised and get a jump on the next crisis
• identify your leadership profile and explore ways to use this knowledge to improve your success as a manager
• enhance your ability to communicate with others in meetings and through presentations
• create an action plan for managing your career success.
