Did you know…

  • The reason that many internal promotions fall down is that when an individual is suddenly given a new role where they’re managing people for the first time, there’s an expectation that they also know how to lead a team.
  • One of the biggest crisis this country faces is under-trained leaders, who do not understand their role, which can have a huge impact on morale, performance and engagement.
  • Poor leadership is cited as the main reason why employees leave organisations?

All three examples clearly demonstrate why businesses need to ensure that their managers are trained to lead – not just manage. People Matters HR CEO, Niel Cope is delivering an intensive leadership program consisting of 6, half-day workshops, each of which focusses on specific areas of leadership and has been specifically written to address the challenges faced by businesses today.

Who should attend the course? 

The six week leadership training course is particularly useful for managers and leaders who have moved into a role by promotion or recruitment who have received little if any, training in how to lead people. Incorporating leadership development into your organisational routine can correct the downward spiral of non-engagement. It works to motivate your top executives, engage the leaders, and improve your culture. After all – when you have a positive atmosphere that people enjoy, retention levels start rising.

When does the course begin?

The six week leadership training course will be delivered over six weeks, commencing on 28th April 2022 and accessible to all via Zoom or a combination of zoom and classroom. Each workshop lasts three hours, timed to give maximum impact with minimum interruption to operational work. These workshops will cover the following topics.
