On Friday 5th December you can take a breather from the general negativity that is surrounding us as the economic outlook continues to deteriorate. Whilst on a macro level the picture is gloomy, there’s no reason on the micro level why you and your organisation can’t thrive if managed effectively. Find out how at the Trainers & Developers Network. If you’d like to come along as my guest, just get in touch.
The session is called “Managing for Strengths” and will cover:
- The business case for strengths
- An overview of the strengths literature
- An exploration of what this means for managers
- Exercises for managers to run with their teams
- An examination of people management from a strengths perspective
