General Managers Development Programme
Helps General Managers to become even more effective
Middle managers - and more experienced leaders - are often expected to have all the answers. However, leadership is about more than that! It's about empowering others, fostering collaboration, and driving positive impact.
The middle tier is the glue that holds the organisation together. They are tasked with translating the company's objectives and motivating their teams to help achieve them. Your middle managers need you to help them develop the leadership skills they need to be successful and inspire their teams.
Here is what delegates can expect from our trialled and tested 6-12 month programme:
