Course overview

Productivity depends on engaged people. Competitive advantage relies on the ability to change and innovate. This course helps leaders develop the emotional intelligence required to build trust, create rapport, and manage collaborative relationships. It addresses the gap between a manager's current performance and their full potential.

Over the five days, delegates will explore communication models, active listening, and the stages of team development. They look at personality traits. The programme covers how these affect conflict, using transactional analysis to negotiate effectively. It then moves to time management, SMARTER objective setting, and the fundamentals of project management. Finally, attendees will use neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and psychological profiling to build a positive self-image and design a strategic plan for their careers.
