Three day - First Line Managers

A development programme for Team Leaders.

Purpose of this first line managers training
The purpose of the training is to help the team leaders to interact with people in such a way as to improve effectiveness and service provision.

The main themes

The four main themes of the course are:

  • Clarity (Means communicating clear goals and standards)
  • Rational planning. (Means building practical plans of action. Shifting the focus from the immediate, to the longer term. Acting intelligently today, to reduce tomorrows problems)
  • Listening to and giving feedback. (Being able to give “off target feedback” in a way to make people feel stronger, not weaker).
  • Managing emotions. (Being inspirational and keeping the atmosphere positive)

Here is an example of the three-day programme designed first line managers:
