Being a Manager today is far more than just being technically sound at doing your job. Peter F. Drucker, the American management writer states that … “So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.” Well, it needn’t be.
Essential Management TV has been developed to fill the gap between the technical and the additional staff management responsibilities. The program comprises of 12 topics from improving your communication skills to managing time, meetings, crises, teams and more.
This program has been developed for your staff who want practical, comprehensive and easily-accessible management training. It will provide them with the skill-set that will be in high demand for their current and future career.
Topic 1: How to Improve Your Communication Skills
Good quality communication is the lifeblood of a business. What connects all communication forms is the need to convey a clear and concise message. In this topic you are encouraged to use communication as a tool to effectively handle information and ultimately to improve relationships.
Topic 2: How to Manage Your Time
We all see ourselves as being quite reasonable in the area of time management. It isn’t until we actually sit down and analyse how we use our time that we identify the amount of time that’s actually wasted. This topic will show you how to achieve greater efficiencies by reallocating your time in a more effective way.
Topic 3: How to Make Decisions
Before you can even begin to reach the stage where you are regularly making the right decisions in most situations, it’s important for you to start to understand a few of the fundamental concepts about decisions and decision-making.
Topic 4: How to Delegate Successfully
As businesses grow and become increasingly complex, duties and responsibilities become less well defined and vagueness and ambiguity become the norm. This topic will show that good quality delegation will become your key to improving efficiency and by clarifying communication, will benefit all.
Topic 5: How to Motivate People
Motivation is the desire to act. Several different influences and forces motivate everyone. A good manager should realise this and influence their staff to align their own motivations with the needs of the organisation. This topic will show that good managers recognise and reward good work. Staff will achieve better results this way than they would if threatened with drastic measures for bad work.
