For Managers, Senior Leaders, Supervisors & those on Management Succession Plans:

Increase Productivity & Competency of your workforce by developing a highly effective Management Team.

A world-class, 12 week (1.5 hours per week) facilitated Management Transformation Programme, developed by a panel of International experts.

Brief Overview:

A business is only as good as the people who lead the people.

Many Managers find themselves in Management positions because they've got 'job related experience' (i.e. they know how to do and are good at, the 'technical' work and can pass their technical work experience & knowledge onto others). They are excellent 'technicians', but are not necessarily excellent 'managers'.

Why?

Because, 'technical' work and 'management' work, are completely different skill sets. They lack the management knowledge & skills, and don't have the tools & understanding on how to drive competency and productivity of the people they manage & lead.

This is what's known as the 'missing middle' - the missing middle between the Business Owner/Leader and their Customers. The missing high level of management competency & effectiveness that the Business Owner/Leader needs, to ensure that high levels of productivity, moral, cohesion & focus from Staff, is achieved across their Business.

The ‘Management Master Class’, is a world-class Management Transformation Programme, developed by a panel of International experts and is designed to fill the 'missing middle' gap, bring long lasting change and uplift the effectiveness of Business operations, over the long term.

This programme is suitable for Directors, Managers, Department Heads, newly appointed Leaders/supervisors, 2nd Tier Managers & those on succession plans.

Outcome of the Programme:

Attendees of this programme gain:

• Leadership skills,
• Confidence,
• The ability to develop & lead great Teams,
• The tools to manage people more effectively, and
• Learn how to drive your Business forward in a congruent and aligned way

The end result ensures that attendees have the ability to:

• Drive exceptional performance & achieve improved results from their Team.

• Improve their management skills,
• Enhance harmony within their Team,
• Boost workplace output with a focus on developing necessary competencies & a growth mindset.

Basic information:

The programme is 12 weeks long (1,5 hours per week), is activity/action based (i.e. it has a very clear focus on implementing the learnings) and consists of the following each week:

• 1 x 1,5 hour facilitated session each week
• Implementing actions during each week,
• Measuring & monitoring the actions implemented within each participants Business unit,
• Documenting applicable numbers at the beginning of programme & tracking performance over time.

Transformation Methodology:

Each weekly 1,5 hour transformation session is facilitated in person by myself (John Creighton) and joined by Brad Sugars, acclaimed as the world’s best business coach, via a 30minute recording in most sessions.

After every session, delegates are given “homework” and action plans to implement in their business.

The key difference with this programme to others, is that everyones results are tracked (weekly) and everyone is held accountable to take action/implement their learnings (weekly), in their Business/department.

This is not an ‘in one ear, out the other’ type of training, where very little (to nothing) gets done, because no ones accountable & nothing changes. In this programme, the attendees are held accountable to implement their learnings to ensure that long-lasting, positive change occurs.

Attendees of this Programme, receive access to all video material, all slide-decks, templates, worksheets, forms, notebooks, assessments and other supporting elements & tools to ensure that they (& their Teams), become and remain, highly productive & competent in the areas that drive business forward.
