Leadership & Management
At Gray Matter Learning we offer Leadership and Management courses and typically a programme lasts between one and five days. Our courses cover the following:
Managing Self
We'll cover a range of areas here such as how to conduct yourself, body language and self-awareness. All of these combined will help you to become a more confident individual that represents leadership and instil confidence in those around you. It's important to understand the best way to conduct yourself in a variety of situations that you may face in a management role. Knowing the best body language to use and being aware of how you come across to others is essential to avoid confrontation and to guide those under you with assurance to get the best out of your workforce.
Managing Others
Here we will help you to understand what qualities a leader possesses. It can be hard to make the transition to a position of management and we will help guide you through this and the best way to conduct yourself as a person but also in your work. After our courses you'll have greater knowledge of how to manage a workforce under you and how to help improve their skills as well, coaching them to success.
Feedback
Feedback to your employees is essential within any company and how you deliver it can be tough, especially if it isn't always positive. It is important for your employees to know when they are on the right path as well as when they are not, and also be praised for hard work. Our courses will help you to understand this importance and how to communicate and deliver feedback effectively as well as constructively so that you can help your workforce develop and move ahead positively.
Soft Skills
Our versatile range of courses will also cover soft skills which will be essential in any leadership or managerial role. We'll also discuss time management and demonstrate how best to juggle tasks efficiently. The courses will also confront decision making and how to feel confident in the ones you make. Communication skills and rapport building will also be heavily focused upon as these skills go hand in hand with your success as a leader.
