Workplace Well-being and Leadership
Do better than ticking a box- Make that tick mean something, to everyone.
Managing or Leading people is not about acquiring hard skills and experience,
it’s about influencing a team of people to utilise the best of their skills to support the company goals.
Leadership matters to individuals, individuals make up the workplace, therefore leadership has to matter to the workplace, and it does. Increasingly we are seeing studies showing the effects of people who cannot manage people, and those people get into leadership positions by being skilled at their role, compliant, or having length of service. None of these attributes indicate leadership skills. So why would you let a business be run and managed by people who cannot understand or connect with people? Business is about people and service, therefore leadership should be about people and service.
The Embrace Life UK leadership and well-being on-site workshop- is the ideal introduction to leadership for:
Front line supervisors, team leaders, assistant mangers, shift managers and those just coming into junior management positions to learn what leadership is all about and how honing in the soft skill element will help to achieve high performance targets and goals as first-time leaders with confidence.
For middle managers who have completed a management course or gained a qualification in leadership, management, and well-being as this on-site workshop will refresh and sharpen your skills allowing the habit of influence, communication, and effective leadership to become a second-nature behaviour for you.
Employees who want to get on with ease and develop their people and role specific skills.
