This course is aimed at anybody who is in charge of a work team of any size. It is delivered in an inductive (experiential) format which allows participants to be totally involved in the learning process.

The course is high on involvement and equips the participants to take the concepts into the workplace and use them. There is an assessment programme at the end where they, their mentor and their line manager sign off the transfer to work component of the training.

In this three day course there is also time to include the DiSC Behavioural Profile Diagnostic. This invaluable tool enables participants to understand themselves, the effect their behaviour has on others and how to create the optimum work environment for each of their direct reports. 

DiSC Behavioural profiling links directly to leadership and delegation, communication, feedback, performance management and handling conflict. It therefore provides a base for learning that takes the knowledge gained into attitudinal and behavioural changes by having participants learning the valuable skill of knowing when and how to adapt their leadership behaviour to those they are leading and interacting with at all levels of the organisation.
