CTC - Professional development training programmes

Creating a compelling vision

Objectives
To be effective as a leader you need both strategic goals and detailed implementation plans. Others will only buy in to your vision if it is compelling for them: this means in alignment with their values and beliefs as to where the organisation is heading. You will learn how to:

formulate a clear vision about what you are trying to achieve
create plans to implement the key priorities
evaluate the critical success factors and identify blocks to success

Coaching and mentoring

Objectives
The people that you manage are professionals: they have high expectations of themselves and others. Once people reach a certain level the most effective way to help them develop is by coaching and mentoring rather than by giving directive feedback. Coaching empowers individuals to identify their own solutions. Mentoring shows the way by wise counsel and example. This programme will enable you to learn the key skills of being an effective coach and mentor.

Delegation and supervision

Objectives
Almost certainly you do not have enough time to do everything that you would like to do. Frequently client work takes priority and management and development takes a back seat. Successful leaders proactively manage their priorities in order to create more value for themselves and their businesses.

Effective delegation ensures work is done at the most cost effective level and frees up your time for client relationship management and new business development.
