In 2018-19 we are piloting a new version of our mentoring group experience for those who are new to management roles, whether you are managing people and teams or projects. Over five facilitated conversations, we will talk through:
- Skills and strategies that effective managers use to motivate and engage people and teams, including goal-setting, feedback and coaching, expectation-setting and accountability measures
- What it means to manage up and across and to claim your space and your voice
- Aligning your personal values and strengths with your management style
- Creating a personal development plan for what comes next
