Without exception, good management is about leading and managing people.

This has always been the case, of course, but in an increasingly competitive business environment, with widespread technological parity, it is becoming even more so. Whatever the core business of your organisation, its long-term viability and profitability is heavily dependent on the talents and motivations of your people. They simply must perform at their best, with an absolute commitment to achieving your organisation's objectives. Perhaps more than any other factor, it is this commitment that distinguishes the high-performance organisation.

Consequently, your leadership and people skills as a manager - the key to inspiring and maintaining your team's commitment - are more vital than ever. And this intensive 2-day short course at the University of Adelaide is an ideal means through which to ensure they are up to the task.

Who should attend

This 2-day short course is designed for all individuals requiring an understanding of the principles of effective management and leadership. It is particularly suitable for Managers, Team Leaders and professionals who are, or may become, responsible for overseeing work done by others in the pursuit of organisational objectives.

The course will appeal equally to the private, public and not-for-profit sectors.

Leading and Managing People offers an extremely valuable hands on experience in terms of your own personal and professional development.
