Leadership and Management Skills, Training Courses

 

Key skills programme for your managers.

 At Elan Valley Lodge we use highly effective experiential learning techniques to explore and subsequently develop a range of key management skills which have real, tangible results. 

The process: exploration of a range of key skills, trialled in a realistic practice scenario, consolidation of the learning and then supporting delegates through a process of doing things differently.

The key skills can include:

  • Proactive leadership

  • Planning, time management and prioritisation

  • Developing and leading a high performing team

  • Communication skills

  • Support and challenge as a management tool

  • Creating innovation and change

 

The “practice ground” 

It’s engaging and provides a real opportunity for delegates to try new ways of doing things. There is a complex mystery to solve in which leadership, planning, time management and effective communication will be vital. It is a very complex exercise that has proved itself time and time again to challenge delegates on many different levels:

  • Intellectually

  • Logistically

  • Physically (optional)

  • Organisationally

  • Applying the learning

     

We use the EVL planning tool to record delegates learning and plan how it is going to be applied and further developed back at work.

  • What can I do to improve my effectiveness?

  • What support will I need?

  • When will it be done?

  • What will other people see as a result?

 

Post course

Three months later the delegates meet to share their experiences since the programme.  Relecting upon what have they achieved as a result of the course and what difficulties have they encountered.  What further development each delegate feels that they can achieve. 

As with all of our work the programme can be tailored to your specific requirements. It is suitable for people already in management positions or those with management potential.

I have improved my communication, which in turn has led to greater results. I now seek the different opinions of colleagues when looking to change something, and take it all on board before finalising my decision. right_quote.gif
