Management Development Programme
What to expect?
By adopting a strengths-based approach, managers empower their teams to thrive and support them in operating at their fullest potential. Strengths-based managers create environments where employees excel with work which aligns with their talents, as well as providing a framework for consistent and ongoing feedback conversations and accountability for work-related goals. This approach results in improvements in engagement, personal fulfilment and productivity across teams.
Using a mix of theories and evidence, experiential learning and practical tools, the Management Development Programme enables managers to enhance their personal effectiveness and unlock the full potential of their workforce to thrive.
Why choose strength-based development?
Managers account for as much as 70% of the variance in team engagement, so being able to perform at your best and empower others to do the same is crucial. Individuals, teams and organisations who regularly work in line with their strengths perform better than those that do not. Empirical evidence has demonstrated the following benefits of developing a strengths-based approach:
- 6X higher employee engagement
- 3X more likely to report having an excellent quality of life
- 3X more effective as leaders/managers
- More productivity and innovation
- Less likely to quit their job
Rigorous research has also shown that teams where most individuals know their strengths have better performance outcomes than teams that do not
Who is it for?
This programme is open to anyone who manages people. Whilst attending one of our Discovery Workshops is highly recommended, it’s essential that participants have a solid understanding of their own strengths and a strengths-based approach for organisations. The goal is to help you and your team unlock potential by effectively recognising and harnessing individual strengths.
How long is the programme?
The programme consists of a two-day face-to-face workshop which will be both interactive and reflective, as well as access to an ongoing programme of support and events to build knowledge and embed best practice.
