Learning Objective:
To learn and practice decision-making skills, problem-solving techniques, prioritisation, delegation and Time Management skills, and select from a participant-driven menu of other add-on skills, through the medium of a real-life case study.
Target Audience:
New managers, or as a refresher for middle-senior managers.
Content:
On the first day, an 'In-Tray' is provided composed of innocent-looking routine memo's, letters and other documents, such as occur in real life. Participants work their way through this individually and against a pressured time-limit, drawing on their existing skills. Team discussions then dissect and compare against a model. Theoretical constructs and techniques (problem-solving, decision- making, prioritisation etc) are then provided and discussed. In -Tray two arrives, with matters of a more complex nature, and participants are again on their own, at a more senior level, against the same time limit. A menu of one-hour theory presentations is then offered, covering topics such as Communications, Time Management, Delegation, Leadership, Motivation, Negotiation - and at any time the team can ask for an input session on one or more of these subjects. The second In-Tray is then discussed. Practical exercises are sprinkled throughout.
