Leading Technical Teams

A team leader's role has changed in recent years, often doing much more with much less. Technology has flattened organisational structures and the role now requires the flexibility and leadership capacity needed to manage multi-disciplinary teams, often remotely. You will meet other leaders working in the technical field and explore the contemporary challenges of performing in a fast paced multi-site, sometimes global environment.

By the end of the course you will be able to:

• Build authentic leadership and have the knowledge, skills and behaviours to display confidence
• Understand how to build trust as a leader of a remote or virtual team
• Develop proven communication strategies for a variety of situations
• Unleash the talent within your team by understanding strengths and focusing on areas for development
• Chair effective team meetings
• Develop coaching and feedback skills that lead to enhanced performance
• Manage time and allocate resources effectively
• Think creatively in order to problem solve and make the right decisions
• Practise your presentation skills in order to influence others

This is an intensive five day course using a blend of interactive training exercises that cover the toolkit of the skills you need. This is an experiential programme that weaves classroom theory with immediate practical application.
