The Leadership
& Management Transition

To be effective as a manager of people requires a combination of leadership and management capabilities. This is equally the case for supervisors, middle management and senior management. Gaining appropriate skills early in one’s working life provides the foundations for future career development. As one transitions from a functional role to a managerial role, the focus of work changes from doing everything oneself to enabling others to deliver. Understanding theory and gaining confidence in practice leads rapidly to greater effectiveness. This Anderson course offers opportunities to develop leadership and management capabilities at a crucial stage in delegates’ careers.
