LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT
The quality of an organisation’s leadership and management is critical to its success. This is true at team, department, and organisation level. But what’s the secret to that quality and how do you ensure it throughout the organisation? How do you become an excellent leader yourself?
As with any skill, the professional skills of leadership and management can be learned and practised; and this course is specifically designed to help you do just that, whatever your role in the organisation.
Three main sections - (1) delivering stability and growth; (2) managing staff performance; and (3) developing your own effective style - will provide the insights and practical steps you need to lead and manage your team, department or organisation with true professionalism.

REVIEWS
"Learning and development had not been created as a continuous activity. Training was often one off interventions with the impact difficult to measure. Filtered has helped us change that in a short period of time. The cultural change it has driven in terms of reinforcing an expectation of continuous learning at all levels is the biggest achievement to me."
"We partnered with Filtered because we liked the idea of learners being able to tailor resources based on their knowledge gaps. The quality of reporting data provided allowed us to calculate an ROI of £1.80 for every £1 invested in a licence."
