Management of People
The Management of People Programme [MOPP] is about teaching people everything they need to know about managing people in the work place. It is our flagship management development programme.
It gives participants a set of practical, easy to apply tools and formulas (that are based on tried and tested psychological theories) that will allow them to become role models for excellent management behaviour.
The aim of the programme is to establish a culture of professional people management. In this way employees are encouraged and motivated to do their best work, thereby increasing output and reducing costs. The training helps managers to select good quality people at the hiring stage so that they can immediately make a positive contribution to the business and also shows them how to coach and give feedback in order to help their staff achieve excellent results.
The workshops are a fast paced, content rich and memorable learning experience that are facilitated by expert training professionals with a strong background in line management.
The programme runs as two, three-day modules plus a half day review session, each about three months apart.
In part one people learn everything they need to know about managing people on a ‘one to one’ basis. This covers the managers role; emotional intelligence; 20 communication skills; selection interviewing; delegation; goal setting; appraisals; counseling; and discipline.
In part two people learn everything they need learn about managing the team, as a team including Visioning; Values; MBWA; Facilitating meetings; group problem solving strategies etc.
The workshops are followed by an Action Learning phase which will involve the participants meeting once every two weeks for about thirty minutes and discussing how they are using the tools in action. This allows the delegates to support and coach each other as they try out their new skills in the work environment. We conclude this phase with a Closure Workshop (about three months after the Managing the Team course) during which each participant gives a presentation on how they have applied the lessons from the training in 'real life. In this way the impact of the training on the business can be evaluated.
