Why book this course?
Newly appointed first line managers often have superb technical skills, which is the reason why you are promoted in the first place. What may be lacking is the very different set of skills needed to manage others. Without this experience in communication and planning, you may struggle to shine in other areas.
This course will help you understand the basic skills involved in managing and developing your staff, helping you to transition into your new role. As well as teaching you the fundamentals of what a first line manager does, you’ll learn key strategies for communication and motivation, and how to manage your new workload effectively.
Our Introduction to First Line Management programme is accredited by The Institute of Leadership & Management.
