Managing Managers and Developing Leaders

Leading a team of managers is very different from leading frontline staff, yet many senior leaders in South African organisations are promoted without preparation for it. This five day programme builds the skills needed to lead other leaders, set direction across multiple teams, and grow the next generation of managers. Delegates learn to hold managers accountable while developing their capability and judgement.

What you will be able to do

  • Adjust leadership style when leading managers rather than frontline employees.
  • Set clear direction and expectations across several teams at once.
  • Hold managers accountable for results without micromanaging their work.
  • Coach and develop managers to strengthen their leadership capability.
  • Build a healthy leadership culture and consistent standards across the group.
  • Identify and grow future leaders through structured development.
