You will:

Understand the three core roles of a manager and the behaviours associated with each
Be able to delegate work to people using a blend of four different styles
Consider the nature of the relationships you have with your people and plan how to change these over the time you are a manager
Be able to appropriately use a mix of five helping styles according to the situation and the individual

Deliver Through Delegation

Delegation can be hard when it seems quicker to do it yourself or you fear you are losing control. But falling into this trap can mean you end up chasing your tail while your team becomes demotivated. Delegate well and you’re on your way to high performance.

Give Great Feedback

‘Don’t do it like that, do it like this’ is not exactly a motivational way to change behaviour. By focusing on what’s not working, you run the risk of forgetting to reinforce what is, creating defensive reactions rather than growth mindsets. Time to turn feedback on its head.

Coach Everyday

A prescriptive style can stifle creativity and empowerment. Coaching keeps responsibility with the individual, enabling them to generate and act upon their own solutions. And contrary to what you may think, it doesn’t have to take long out of your busy day.
