Excellence in Leadership (2 Day Programme)

Course Overview

Savvy Execs have always seen the value of having an engaged workforce. There is plenty of evidence that shows engaged employees equals profit and productivity.

A huge part of employees being engaged is strong, stable, and inspirational leadership.

We can help you to look at the features, habits and skills that create a positive employee experience. These foundations are the key to creating a leadership culture that helps your business to grow and thrive.

The aim of this 2-day course is to enable those who are either new to a management role or have been in a management position for some time and wish to hone their skills to be more effective.

The course helps managers focus on their style of leadership and management and create an action plan for development. The practical element of this course enables you to develop leadership and management styles which will assist the organisation towards reaching its objectives.

The course focuses on developing appropriate leadership styles, understanding the motivation of individuals at work, and using suitable feedback, coaching and delegation techniques. The management of stress and stress-related situations are also covered.

This Excellence in Leadership course is available throughout the UK.
