Manager and Leader
A leadership program for those of you who want to develop yourself and your ability to lead others. The program focuses on leadership, business development and operative steering.
For whom?
Manager and Leader is primarily aimed at middle managers who are relatively new to their roles and for those of you who are on their way to becoming a manager of other managers.
You probably have at least two years experience of being a manager with, for example, responsibility for personnel, products or development.
Description
Some of the challenges which the program deals with are:
• the demands imposed on managers for clarity and the ability to communicate goals and values
• cooperation with other people in the organization
• how the company’s overall business goal can be applied to the operative goals for your area of responsibility
• how you make improvements and raise efficiency with limited resources.
The connection between strategies, goals and efficient corporate governance is a recurrent theme, as are change processes. Four themes run throughout the entire program:
• Creating and leading effective teams
• Your own business challenges
• Coaching leadership which you will get to practice with a colleague
• Try out some of the program’s exercises at your workplace and recount your experience on the program.
An important part of the program is the interaction with other participants and the experiences which you share.
"What I have learned has already contributed to positive changes in the project group. The program has also given me important knowledge which affects the company externally."
