Unfortunately, this initial enthusiasm wanes. Personalities and egos begin to surface and impact negatively on team morale and performance. Too many new teams become dysfunctional because they are not managed effectively. Internal differences abound leading to an implosion. The imploded team then gets replaced by another enthusiastic new team. And the cycle continues …

Team members need to be clear about their roles and feel comfortable with the new team environment. The manager or team leader needs to provide clear leadership and vision while at the same time creating a functional team environment.

What is a manager management training course all about? Well, it’s a great opportunity to look at management skills of the participants and how they fit with the organisational needs. This skills-based program supports confident decision-making and strategic oversight. Customised to suit your organisation’s goals, this niche course etches out management leapfrog strategies. Sometimes managers are busy managing all levers and widgets in the organisation. But maybe they need to delegate the less important tasks and drill down into the critical needs of the organisation.

Leaders can transform an organisation. You’ve heard the expression, “lining up the ducks”. Leaders are very good at motivating the ducks to get tasks done. But the managers would align the ducks. Management and leadership are different skillsets. If you can develop a combination of both skills then you’re a terrific asset to an organisation. You don’t have to be equally adept at both. In this course we’re looking at developing the management skills of your leaders. We’re not replacing the leadership edge. Instead, we’re sharpening your leadership edge with expert management skills on top.

Meetings are a good opportunity to generate creative ideas from a group of people who meet in order to achieve an outcome. Meetings can be extremely valuable and productive if run effectively.

  14. The minutes of the meeting are distributed to all members within 2–3 days.
