Managing people in the voluntary sector

Managing people is a natural step-up in our career progression, but do you feel equipped with the skills and techniques you need to do the job well?  

From the day-to-day skills of keeping your team motivated to the trickier situations of managing under-performance, managing people within the charity context can be deeply rewarding but also hugely challenging.

By the end of the course you will have:

•         Explored the key principles of good people management

•         Identified behaviours that build trust (and their opposites)

•         Practiced giving and receiving feedback

•         Used assertive approaches in a broad range of situations

•         Developed a range of practical skills to undertake effective one-to-ones

•         Identified how to motivate different people

•         Practiced delegating effectively

•         Used tools for managing workloads and setting objectives collaboratively

•         Practiced managing performance (including addressing under-performance)

•         Practiced different techniques for handling real-life tricky situations (including charity-specific examples) 

•         Practical skills for managing team meetings        

•         Identified a wide range of further resources to support your ongoing development as a manager

 

This course is designed both for people who are new to a management role, or those who have been managing people for a while but have had no training.
