Moving up to a Manager position requires a profound change of mindset and perspective. New managers must re-invent their professional outlook and must face a new suite of complex challenges. 

This course introduces new and future managers to the new frame of mind that they must adopt and to the strategic approach that their new role requires.

Participants are guided to learn to slip into their new role as a Leader, with a better understanding of what their organisation expects from its team leaders and managers.

Through a set of challenging workshops, the mindset of participants is transformed to embrace the shift of focus from detail to overview, which they must go through to meet the objectives of their organisation and to be effective, credible and successful Managers.
