For public managers nowadays the challenge is in finding the right balance between having the expertise on the substance of the area they are working in and being able to lead their staff towards the objectives of their department. This often requires a wide repertoire of skills like setting clear objectives, negotiating between different interests, coaching, supporting, motivating, delegation of tasks, handling conflicts dealing with different employees of different age and levels of experience within the administration. In a six days training programme divided over two modules of three days emphasis will be mainly given to people’s management. The main goal of the programme is to improve the effectiveness of the senior managers by building up reference frames about management in general and specific knowledge and skills for leadership and people management. The second part of the programme will be due to practice, broadening and widening what has been offered as framework or models during the first part of the programme. |
