Leading Teams and Projects: Unlocking Performance and Driving Success

Leading a team or managing a project isn’t about just getting tasks done – it’s about inspiring people and helping them to navigate challenges to drive success. Leadership and management needs to be balanced effectively – getting results, but also working effectively with the people behind the results. It’s important to have a toolkit for making decisions as a leader and manager, in order to help effectively achieve an organisation’s aims.

What you’ll learn:

Leadership versus management – learn how to maximise a team’s potential to get the work done effectively and efficiently, thus fulfilling an organisation’s objectives
Ensure compliance – explore how a leader’s knowledge and application of professional standards, legislation but also ethics can ensure decisions are made effectively or escalated if necessary
Toolkit for a diverse team – how using certain tools and techniques can help a leader treat their team equally and how a diverse team brings many benefits to an organisation and to each other
