The Managing Teams Programme

Build the confidence and skills to lead a healthy, inclusive and effective team. Explore the everyday challenges of managing people when demand is high, resources are limited and the work is emotionally demanding.

The Managing Teams Programme gives managers with current staff responsibility time to explore complex team challenges and develop their practice through workshops, peer support and two workplace projects. It builds on the foundations covered in our one-day Introduction to Managing People course, with greater depth and opportunities to apply and review learning in their own organisations.

Who is it for?

New and developing managers, team leaders, service managers, practice managers and project managers with current responsibility for managing people. It is also suitable for experienced managers who have learned on the job and want practical tools and time to reflect.

What you will gain

Develop purposeful supervision, give useful feedback and address performance concerns. Learn to build trust and accountability, manage workloads and service quality, handle conflict and support your team through pressure and change.

Learning that carries into your workplace

You will apply the learning in your own organisation, meet with a small peer group between sessions and complete two practical management projects. These include a management practice experiment: testing a change such as clearer team expectations, more effective supervision or better delegation, with support from your peers.

The final in-person day brings the learning together through project reviews, live management challenges and an individual development plan for the next six months.
