Anglia Ruskin University

The starting point for the 'Developing Managers' programme, this half-day session gives new managers an overview of their role on the 'frontline' - above operations but below middle or senior management.

Relevant to every sector and type of organisation, the session begins with a review of the evolution of management theory, with the aim of enabling delegates to apply contemporary theory to the often complex contexts in which they operate. Building on this theoretical background, delegates then learn more about the range of capabilities needed to be an effective and efficient manager, while also examining the connections between managerial behaviour and organisational performance. As a result, delegates will start to develop their own understanding of the capabilities needed to perform effectively in their new role, and will begin to identify the managerial approaches and behaviours most relevant to their own organisation.

• The first of six half-day sessions within the 'Developing Managers' programme.
• Relevant to all sectors and organisations.
• An ideal overview for first time managers, irrespective of workplace context.
• By combining theory and practice the session adds depth to an understanding of the frontline manager's contribution to operational success.
• Helps new managers identify the capabilities needed to operate efficiently and effectively in their new role.
• Workshop style delivery, and use of relevant case studies, ensures an engaging experience for all delegates.
