Essential Management Skills for Charities Course

This one day course will introduce participants to the complex issues involved in management in charities. It makes the transition from staff member to manager as smooth as possible by covering all the essential skills and creating individual development plans.

By the end of this course, delegates will be able to:
• Identify their responsibilities as managers
• Recognise and apply a range of leadership styles
• Design individual strategies for motivation
• Understand how a team develops
• Resolve any potential conflict

Course Elements:

• The role of the manager – What are your responsibilities?
• Examination of leadership styles – Slave driver or Moses?
• The activities of a manager – The practical aspects
• Motivation – The theory and the practice
• Team development – Understanding how your team changes
• Decision making – Barriers, preparation and rules
• Resolving conflict – Analysis of a variety of situations
• Techniques for training and coaching

This course is based on individual development and trainer interaction. It considers the individual circumstances of each participant, and creates a personal model of human behaviour to help develop core competencies and skills. At the end of the course each participant will be able to identify their individual challenges and create plans for how to overcome them. With better personal understanding participants will be better able to manage and adapt to others' behaviour to achieve desired outcomes.

This course is also for strictly limited numbers so that each participant can receive individually tailored advice, and is best suited to those making the transition to management or for those who are in management but have no formal training.

“I really enjoyed the course, please pass on my thanks to Bill for all his enthusiasm. Please do keep me informed of any future courses.” Best wishes, Clare of Leukaemia Research
