A unique one-day workshop
09:30 - 16:30 (lunch included)
The most common reason for leaving a job is dissatisfaction with one's manager.
Being an effective, supportive and clear manager is crucial for ensuring staff retention, team motivation and happiness, and business success. Learn all this and more over the course of a day with expert trainer Scott Rumsey.
This practical workshop explores ideal manager behaviours, helping you get the most out of your team by giving clear direction, coaching, cheerleading and delegating effectively. This is an opportunity to explore management dilemmas and hone your managerial abilities - and to ensure that you're not the manager everyone wants to get away from!
