Management Academy
A multi-module programme for managers who manage other managers or large teams. We help them move from the expert role to the leader role: think strategically, delegate responsibility, lead people through change and hold people accountable for results without micromanaging.
Who it is for and what problem it solves
An expert instead of a manager
The manager still does the most important tasks themselves, and the team waits for their decisions.
No consistent management standard
Every manager manages in their own way – it is hard to compare results and assess people.
Change and uncertainty
Reorganisations, new systems, cost pressure – managers have to communicate them and keep the team engaged.
Tensions between departments
Silos, passing the buck and conflicting priorities.
What participants will practise
Leadership
- situational leadership and building authority
- strategic thinking and decision-making
- managing an effective team
Working with people
- delegating and developing autonomy
- motivation and feedback
- appraisal and development conversations
Change and cooperation
- communicating difficult decisions
- working with resistance to change
- resolving conflicts between departments

What does the first consultation look like?
A free, no-obligation conversation – by phone or online. All you need to know is what the problem is; we will work out the rest together.
You talk to one of our client managers, and a trainer joins if needed.
who the development is for (roles, number of people, locations), what problem you want to solve, what has already been done, timing and budget.
We investigate the problem thoroughly before proposing anything. We also use diagnostic tools such as the NESSE Competency Map®.
