NEW - Set your Managers a Work Out in Management Performance

Ability x motivation x opportunity = performance (Purcell, 2002), but how many management training programmes can truly say they support this notion?

Akenham has designed its Management Interactive work-outs to meet these needs, where managers are an active part of their own development. 

 Please open the attached leaflet on Management work out

How does it work?

We present each manager with a leadership challenge they need to overcome, and then give them the coaching necessary to achieve a positive result.  This provides the manager with the opportunity to use the skills they have, gain new ways of working and learn how to apply them back in the workplace.  Your managers will gain confidence in their abilities and a true understanding of what they are capable of achieving.

• Through a series of carefully crafted two hour management workouts – designed by business psychologists, coaches and development specialists – each challenge aims to achieve a rapid change in management performance, in a cost effective and inspiring way
• A coach guides your managers towards a successful conclusion in their challenge
• Suitable for groups of up to 12 people - we look at each manager’s preferred style of dealing with issues and the likely pros and cons of their approaches
• Throughout the session, we help your managers develop a list of tools and techniques that will enhance their performance and self-belief

 Challenge your managers to achieve more

Each experience gives your managers the opportunity to sense what good leadership feels like.  Delegates walk away knowing that they can make a difference, believing:

• I have faced this challenge before and have achieved
• I know how to face this challenge again and achieve
• I want to face this challenge again and achieve more!

 This improves confidence, directs effort and stimulates performance.  And because the experiences are targeted and interactive - they capture attention, focus and embed knowledge. 

Inspiring performance

Each workout is designed to run as a stand alone event or as an element within a theme.  The themes and challenges form a series which covers the full spectrum of management. Our greatest ability is tailoring programmes to you and your business, so please don’t feel limited to what you see - let’s start with your needs first.  Here are some examples of previous work-out packages…

• Great Planning: Goal setting and getting; priority management and balancing time
• Great Thinking: Structured problem solving; inspired creativity and incisive decisions
• Great Team: Building a high performance team; In-group and between group communications and goal setting and getting
• Great Leading: Situational leadership; the art of delegation and the leader as a coach
• Great Performance managing: The best performance review; managing poor performance and handling discipline and grievances
• Great communication:  Delivering and receiving the message; quality conversations and managing communications over distance and time

 Cost effective experiences

Each management challenge is suitable for up to 12 people and lasts approximately two hours.  We can facilitate up to three management challenges in a day.  So, you can challenge and invigorate up to 36 people in one topic area.  Alternatively you may wish 12 managers to experience three different workouts in one day.  Each experience is £400, so divided by 12 delegates that’s £34 per person.  Recent delegates of the work-outs commented:

“At last, an innovative and highly focussed approach to management and leadership development”

“The challenge mirrored an ongoing issue at my workplace – I’m going back to resolve it now”

“An excellent experience”
