Contrary to popular belief, both the ability to manage and the ability to lead are learnable skills. However they hinge on the ability of the manager or leader to communicate effectively and be able to maximise the effect of the resources at his or her disposal, whether they be people or physical assets. Leading and managing people depends largely on building mutually beneficial relationships, and encouraging others to invest in and take ownership of situations and processes in order to benefit the organisation as a whole.

This fascinating course focuses on the knowledge and techniques you will need to become an effective manager within the Care Industry. It also helps you to define your own goals and aspirations, and how to communicate them in order to engage and enthuse others so that they too want the same or similar outcomes. This is what leadership is all about, whether at a team or organisational level, and you will learn it here!

The course is exhaustive and comprehensive. It teaches you to understand the concepts of supervision of others, how to inspire them through personal example and a thorough knowledge of the principles involved, such as continuous improvement, monitoring and reviewing performance, continuous professional development, promoting effective teamwork, meeting quality standards, managing risk and reward, and many others. You will learn some of the key business skills required, such as operational planning, time management, systems management and analysis and the basics of employment law.
