Course overview

Productivity and innovation rely on strong working relationships. This programme provides a structured, step-by-step approach to building a professional reputation and managing team performance. Professionals gain the tools required to evaluate their strengths before stepping into leadership.

The five days cover a broad range of psychological and management models, from neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) through to the 4 C model of trust. Delegates will set SMARTER objectives. They will also learn the basics of project management and how to run productive meetings. The course looks at micro-political conflict, using transactional analysis and the Agreement Box model to negotiate win-win outcomes. Finally, it addresses emotional intelligence and cultural diversity in high-performing teams.
