Free Management & Leadership Course

Graduate Advantage have been running their highly successful one day Management and Leadership courses for a number of years now. These well regarded courses are part of a drive to maximise talent in the West Midlands region and help businesses develop the potential they already have.

Courses are provided free of charge as part of the Advantage West Midlands investment in skills.

 

The course introduces delegates to the different characteristics and skills it takes to be an effective manager and leader. It also allows delegates to gain an awareness of different leadership & management styles including their own. 

 By the end of the course delegates will have developed the confidence to apply and explore different management and leadership styles in the workplace. The course will also inspire delegates to reflect on their future career aspirations.  

The programme design is highly interactive, with exercises throughout, lots of open discussions and concludes with a business game which enables delegates to really consolidate their learning.

 

The course is aimed at very recent managers, those aspiring to move into their first management position or who are managing people informally.  Delegates need to be working in the West Midlands, and for this course delegates do not have to be graduates.

It’s carefully designed for smaller employers who want to develop their management team and perhaps worry about retaining talent but may not have the resources to train new managers.

 

 

By the end of the course the delegates will be able to understand the difference between management and leadership, plus an awareness of different leadership and management styles, including their own.

They will have gained the confidence to apply and explore different styles in the workplace, and may  have stimulated thoughts on their future career direction and further development needs.

The course also presents a great opportunity to network with other new managers in similar positions, to share difficulties, swap solutions, develop links and create a support network outside their employer. 

 

By developing confidence and practical skills the course should ease and speed up the process of a new manager becoming effective.

Outcomes may include improved retention, staff satisfaction and a reduced failure rate, plus the courses are free! 

 

1. Identify your own management style and how it interfaces with personal effectiveness
2. Learn why leadership is independent of management while being equally important  
3. Deal with squanderers of time 
4. A case study exercise to put the day’s learning into practice with other new managers who face similar issues
