About Your Certificate

Learn to Transform Organisations, Teams and Individual Performance

A business is only a success if it has an effective workforce driving it in the right direction. As a middle manager, you need to be able to manage both individuals and teams in the organisation so they are satisfied and thrive in their roles.

Through this course, you will learn both the theoretical and practical approaches to leading and managing teams successfully. This involves learning how to establish methods of monitoring and managing individual and team performance, measuring present and future capabilities and implementing approaches to respond to them. All of this will help you inspire, motivate, and support them to exceed expectations.

Innovative and Reflect

Not only is the workforce critical to organisational success, but so is the opportunity for innovation and using past activity to create a better future.

This course will teach you how to create a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship so that new ideas and initiatives can flourish. Plus, how reflective practice must be used for meaningful personal and professional development to take place.
