Last week I listened to Andrew's 4site about Self Leading for the second time and comented on the valuable content. Andrew pointed me to his article on the 4 site. I have been able to use all this information very effectively as a staff management tool and would like to thank Andrew for his help.
Introduction of a coordinated training programme to this large practice of chartered surveyors.
Issues:
- Professionally qualified and experienced practitioners within a growing organisation where management development skills have been low priority
Method:
- Contributed to a 3-month taster programme to stimulate interest with a view to developing a longer term more cohesive approach.
- Four two-hour introductory workshops open to all staff. Attendees across all functions throughout the organisation, both technical and non-technical.
Subject matter was designed to flow sequentially:
- Maximising your potential
- Influencing People
- Managing Yourself and Your Future
- Time Management.
Feedback summary was that training was well received and that further work would benefit individuals in the longer term.
Future plans
To continue to work with the business and facilitate:
- Teambuilds
- Workshops
- Personal Reviews
- One-to-one coaching.
