Overview

Communication is the overriding element to good management. In this Management Essentials course, we look at some of the barriers to communication, the importance of it and provides some fundamental skills and tactics to enable managers to do their job well.

This Management Essentials course also looks at management vs leadership and the qualities of a good leader, touching on different management styles and their uses.

A good manager recognises that they can’t do everything themselves so delegation is key for their teams’ development. It is also essential that the manager focuses on their tasks effectively.

Following a decision making exercise, delegates will be aware of the key steps in the decision making process and will know how to apply this in their own situation.
