Managing from Within the Team

Most professionals are members of the team they manage. This creates tension between the need to complete their own work and the need to manage the rest of the team.
This course helps managers to balance these two roles and manage their teams more effectively from within.
Managing from Within the Team enables learners to

• Get the balance right between doing and managing
• Manage their time well and delegate effectively
• Be conscious of their responsibility as role model to the team and what it involves
• See how their behaviour can shape the behaviour of others
• Know when and how to offer help to team members
• Provide help to team members without taking over

Target audience
This course is designed to appeal to people at all levels, whether they manage others or wish to develop management skills as part of their personal and professional development.
Those who are new to management or preparing to take on a management role will find that this course provides invaluable guidance on how to approach the role of manager within a team.
More experienced or senior managers will value the opportunity to spend time brushing up on their skills and refreshing their approach to management.
