Practical Performance Management

 

About the Course
This two-day course focuses on getting the best out of others through performance management: possibly the most crucial task for a manager. It’s a programme chock full of techniques and approaches that place performance optimisation at the heart of managerial focus.

And just to keep it grounded, participants have the opportunity to test and hone their skills through interaction in a variety of real-life, scenarios with our professional actors – for many the most challenging and rewarding aspect of the two days. We will always adapt the scenarios to the circumstances of individual organisations to ensure maximum application.

Aim
To enable participants to be forward thinking in the management of performance, to plan for and inspire the best from people and to be fair, transparent and robust when things don’t go right.
