About this training session
‘Thinking as a manger’ helps participants to understand and embrace the roles and responsibilities of a manager.
It’s designed to help managers to step up and take accountability for their teams – in short, to start thinking like a great manager. Participants begin to develop a management persona and establish a solid grounding for decision making, team development and management communication.
A key takeaway is that participants feel they have permission to manage.
Our interactive, two-hour training courses get straight to the heart of a topic and provide actionable steps to implement the key learning points.
Courses are delivered in-company by our subject experts either face-to-face or virtually.

Why book this training session?
🧑🏻💼 Increase accountability
We give team leads ‘permission to manage’ and explore how they can embrace their new responsibilities with confidence.
🙌 Build trust in teams
Our interactive exercises help managers to understand the unwritten agreements that make happy teams work, so their direct reports can thrive in a consistent, high-trust environment.
⚠️ Avoid common headaches
We help managers reflect on the ingredients of good (and bad!) management so they can spot the key mistakes it’s easy for any of us to find ourselves making - and how to fix them.
🪴 Keep on growing
This session sets up attendees to create a personal management blueprint, defining their core values and identifying key areas for development in the future – creating a growth mindset and setting the stage for ongoing improvement.
🗣 Make management worth talking about
Managing teams calls on a different skillset than being a star individual contributor. Training sessions like this highlight leadership skills as an area for deliberate growth, not just an after-thought.
