Leadership & Management
Advanced Leadership & Team Management
A five-day programme that develops leaders and team managers across direction setting, high-performing team building, delegation and coaching, performance management, conflict resolution and change leadership.
Introduction
Managers who lead teams well do two jobs at once: they set direction and they build the people who deliver it. The Advanced Leadership & Team Management Training Course develops both capabilities together rather than treating them as separate topics. Participants learn to set clear direction, build high-performing teams, delegate with confidence, and manage performance fairly. Furthermore, the course covers coaching, feedback, conflict resolution, and motivation. In addition, it addresses change leadership, stakeholder influence, and team performance measurement. As a result, participants return with a practical leadership approach, stronger teams, and measurable delivery improvements.
