7 Ways To Get Going As A Team Manager
Now superseded by our Welcome to Leadership programme (above), this short guide gives a few pointers on seven key areas to get you going. They’re foundational to effective leadership and if you can turn them into habits early on, they’ll serve you well in the future and across a variety of job roles.
Mentoring Programme
Enabling colleagues to benefit from the vast experience and expertise of our senior leaders. Our mentoring platform is designed to help you connect and get the best out of a mentoring relationship as both a mentor and mentee.
'Let's talk about...'
Monthly conversations on Microsoft Teams with leaders from across the organisation, as well as external speakers with specific expertise. We cover a huge range of topics, from mental health to leading through change, and much, much more. They're open to all colleagues, not just leaders, and are two-way conversations where we discuss topics, learn and share experiences.
Recommended Moodle Courses
Giving Feedback
Giving feedback is an essential part of supporting staff development in the workplace and creating a learning culture. Feedback helps to develop both individuals and teams by raising awareness of their strengths and highlighting areas where improvement may be needed.
This micro-course looks at how to use the appreciative enquiry model to give regular, constructive feedback in a way that stimulates development and motivation, and shows how anticipating likely responses to feedback can help us to pitch key messages at the most appropriate level.
Influencing People
This 25-minute course looks at why we might need to influence others in the workplace, sites out a range of different influencing behaviours and strategies and shows how we can improve our ability to influence those around us.
Being able to persuade and influence people is a crucial skill for everyone. Still, it’s essential for leaders who need to communicate a particular vision and get people behind that vision to make it a reality.
