Leading and managing people

People are at the heart of organisations. This is truer of social sector organisations. Working in complex spaces and addressing challenging issues, the success of these organisations is directly influenced by the individuals working there. In the process of leading and managing people, keeping teams motivated, empowering them, conducting effective meetings, reducing attrition, holding supportive and developmental work review conversations, and managing team conflicts are common areas of concern.

This 3-day programme addresses the core issue of effective team leadership. Using storytelling and appreciative enquiry as the key processes, the workshop will enable participants to create their own journey as a team leader.

In the 3-day workshop, you will

Discover your own leadership approaches and beliefs
