Training Course Overview

To excel as a manager, whether in a supervisory, middle management, or senior management role, requires a blend of leadership and management skills. Acquiring these skills early in one's career lays the groundwork for future professional growth. As individuals move from operational roles to managerial positions, the emphasis shifts from performing tasks independently to empowering others to achieve results. Building theoretical knowledge and gaining practical confidence swiftly enhances managerial effectiveness. This The Leadership & Management Transition training course provides a pivotal opportunity for delegates to develop their leadership and management skills during a critical phase of their careers.

MODULES

This training course is split into two modules:

MODULE I - The Leadership Transition

MODULE II - The Management Transition

Each module is structured and can be taken as a stand-alone training course; however, delegates will maximise their benefits by taking Module 1 and 2 back-to-back as a 2-week training course.

This 10-day Anderson training course offers delegates opportunities to learn about leadership and management theories and discover how to apply them according to needs in different situations.
