New course helps transform good managers into great leaders
With many Cambridge Network businesses growing - and often promoting from within - the demand for management training has never been higher.
"Of our hundreds of courses, the one entitled 'Transition to Management' is our most popular," says Ali Wilson, LC's courses and events manager. "It has attracted 240 people in the past 12 months alone."
Now, she says, many of those who have made the leap into management are looking to fine-tune their leadership skills, and LC's response is a new course - 21st Century Leadership, which makes its debut on September 11th and 12th.
This is a two-day interactive, reflective and highly practical course, leading to concrete actions to achieve success through positive and engaging leadership behaviours.
Offered by Development Group International (DGI) - the training organisation which delivers 'Transition to Management' - this follow-on course focuses on getting individuals to recognise their natural approach to leadership, to understand where they may benefit from adjusting their style and to be clear on the key challenges a leader must face.
Trainer David Mace of DGI (pictured) says: "Business will always demand 'the outcome' (strategic goals) but it is how we get there that will dictate the long term success of the organisation. And the how is down to us; leaders at whatever level of our company."
It aims to enable managers to become effective leaders by:
- Knowing what to work on to create a high performing climate through leadership behaviours
- Providing tools and techniques to enable you to lead through change
- Helping you become highly self aware and able to adapt yourself to achieve the maximum potential of your team.
Donna Murray, Research HR Manager at Schlumberger, who attended a 'taster' session for the new course recently, has now signed up for the two-day course. She says: "I really enjoyed the introductory session for the 21st Century Leadership course. It was different from the usual leadership courses, and I am certainly looking forward to more at the full day sessions."
