First among equals

The aim
To give managers the leadership skills they need to enable individuals to work more effectively as part of a team.


About the programme
There are three steps managers should take to inspire their teams: give them confidence in the value of their specific role in the team, confidence in their value as individuals and confidence in their value as part of a team.
This programme tells the story of George, who is given the role of team leader. With the help of Harry and his team at the local pub, George learns that being in charge doesn't mean having all the answers, but means involving the team and using their skills, experience and initiative to find them.
Suitable for all managers and team leaders - either for ad-hoc project teams or permanent teams - this engaging programme presents clear and memorable messages to help inspire everyone involved.
