Leadership and management training

At ITD we’ve been training leaders and managers for more than twelve years. We deliver thought provoking, practical leadership and management training based on our clients’ needs.

Leadership and management training with ITD

Leadership and management training is essential for leaders at all levels. Leaders need to know when to lead and when to manage. Different challenges require different approaches. Leadership and management training will help your leaders improve their performance and that of their teams.

What is leadership and management training?

Leadership and management training with uses the following definition. The difference between management and leadership,  is that where leadership is concerned with the culture of an organisation or a team, management is concerned with the detailed behaviours of the members of that organisation, or team. Both have an impact on performance and results.

Many Managers or Team Leaders tend to manage far more than they lead. Whilst effective in some situations, managing can sometimes not provide a long term solution.

Leadership looks at the underlying reasons why there is an issue, whereas management looks straight to a solution. So where management tends to deal with visible impact, leadership deals with the underlying issues.

Typical challenges of participants on our leadership and management training sessions

• “I am new to team leadership and want to get some practical tips and ideas.”
• “I am interested to see what the impact of both leadership and management can have.”
• “I seem to go from one crisis to the next and I feel I am always fire fighting. I would like to see if there are ways to change this.”

How will we develop leadership and management training for you?

1. We’ll discuss the reasons why you think leadership and management training could help your organisation. We’ll talk about your managers, their experience, their goals, the requirements of their role and your perception of their expectations. We’ll discuss the outcomes you would like to see. And if you agree, we’ll also talk to some of your managers to get their thoughts and views.

2. We then design a programme of training which will achieve your goals. This may be as simple as a half day session, or it could be a three day workshop, or series of one day workshops.

3. We’ll agree how to measure the success of your investment and how ITD works with you to embed the learning and reinforce ideas gained in the training.
