Managers, Team Leaders and Supervisors – Management Training to give them the skills to succeed
19 Jan 2007
In PersonnelToday.com, Petra Wilton, head of public affairs at the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), condemned the state of leadership in UK businesses.
The Leitch Review told the government in December that UK skill levels needed to be ramped up to avoid a "lingering decline in competitiveness".
Wilton said training of managers should be a priority as only one in five has a Level 2 management-related qualification.
"There are lots of accidental managers in the UK who have been given a promotion due to their professional skills but have no formal management training," she said.
As Wilson describes, many of the UK’s managers don’t have the leadership and management skills needed to perform their job successfully or they lack the confidence to use the skills they do have. For organisations with these types of managers and supervisors training and development may be the start to increased efficiency, morale and effectiveness.
At Developing People Ltd (www.developingpeople.co.uk) we have designed a three day Team Leader Development Programme which facilitates learning for managers, supervisors and team leaders. The programme consists of topics including improving communication skills, motivating yourself and your staff, coaching, supervisory leadership, conducting appraisals and performance management which provides the skills to lead. The programme also gives the participants the confidence to lead by first understanding their own personality and leadership style and during the programme the participants must conduct and complete a project which adds value to their organisation.
The combination of increased skills and confidence provides the impetus for these managers and supervisors to think and act differently. The real challenge is to imbed this learning so your managers think and act differently over the long-term. Too many organisations don’t reinforce the learning once the managers and supervisors return from the programme so once the initial motivation wears off they return to their old behaviours. Developing People can assist organisations to imbed the learning so the organisation can reap the benefits of having motivated and skilled managers and supervisors.
