Description
The problem with most management development is that it takes managers away from their real job at a time when they are under pressure to perform. This toolkit offers simple, practical activities that will enable managers to carry out real work whilst developing skills.
It can be used as a development option for existing managers, an induction tool for new managers and a way of increasing the general level of management capability throughout your organisation.
There are over 70 exercises on topics ranging from managing underperformers to creating team objectives. Each exercise includes comprehensive notes for the HR or Training professional managing the development as well as a downloadable briefing pack for the manager. Each group of themed exercises begins with a comprehensive self-assessment questionnaire and the package is rounded of with a detailed 360-degree feedback exercise.
