The session looks at the difference between Leaders and Managers, and establishes how the skills and behaviours two approaches dovetail together to create and ‘all round’ effective person who runs a team of people, what ever the situation.  So, whether the attendee is a manager of a team in the business, running a temporary team i.e. a project team, or looking to progress into a position where looking after a team of people is part of the role, then this course is for them.
