Engineering context
Managerial skills are learned and developed throughout your career. However, technical experts in every industry often rise to leadership without having had the time or opportunity to develop the full range of leadership skills demanded of them.
This one-day workshop explores practical leadership techniques and how the characteristics of a leader differs from those of a manager. It enables managers to immediately begin applying the skills of a leader through a range of practical tools and take-home guides. The workshop will also provide insight on how to delegate tasks while ensuring your team feels empowered.
Upon completion you will move from being a 'busy' manager to a purposeful leader by embedding the new skills learnt as part of your leadership DNA. You’ll be able to provide clarity when setting expectations with your team and confidently mentor them (individually and collectively) by understanding the best ways to tackle underperformance.
