An introduction to leadership management training
We work with you to identify what will make the most difference and show how an investment in management development will bring direct economic benefits to your organisation.
- Good managers are made not born! The best teachers are those who have been there. Dancing lion trainers have worked as managers and know what it takes to get results.
- It is one thing to set quality standards and another to maintain them. Coaching can play an important role in encouraging and reinforcing productive behaviour. Find out the practical steps here.
- Call sampling and coaching is integral to meeting service agreements (SLAs) and achieving key performance indicators (KPIs) in targeted environments, such as contact centres.
- In this programme, you will be guided to select the appropriate data and information to interpret key performance indicators and to focus on the areas that will produce the biggest return.
- Total Quality Management has long been established as a leadership practice and management philosophy that has a positive impact upon the entire work environment.
- In today’s highly competitive business environment change is a constant. Learn how to face the change challenge.
- The ability to manage time affects both the individual and those working around them. People who can do it well get more done and are less stressed.
- For many organisations, especially contact centres, high staff absenteeism and turnover are the day-to-day working reality. Learn new ideas to help foster employee engagement.
Change is a constant in organisational life. Increased demands from the marketplace, competitors, stakeholders and regulators, all demand responsive attitudes and behaviour.
Yet, to the individual, change may be perceived as threatening and forced upon them. A sense of powerlessness and inertia can quickly develop, overcoming the very people needed to implement the changes.
This course will give delegates:
❖ an understanding of the change process and how it relates to their own environment

Research studies have shown a clear correlation between employee engagement and performance. If you improve employee engagement, defined as how people feel and think about their jobs, you improve performance.
Of course, whilst there is no substitute for a sustainable business strategy, or good policy and planning in the public sector, ultimately it is the people doing the work that make the difference. In the private sector, where goods and services are increasingly standardised, it may be the quality of service that differentiates one company from another, and is a genuine competitive advantage.
In this thought provoking and practical programme, participants will learn how motivation is linked to employee engagement. Motivation is defined here as having the drive to accomplish your objectives. It is strongly linked to personal intention and is central to our achievement and success. We all can sense a ‘buzz’ in the atmosphere, synonymous with people getting things done. This event will help show how to foster the attitudes and behaviors that are integral to creating that environment.
