Fantastic, first ever we’ve run, and I’m impressed at how well the uptake and relevance was.
Technical Management Training Skills Course
Technical Management Skills Training is interesting, as often the technical manager would rather be involved in managing the project, rather than managing the people. The “people management” may not be within the skillset.
The challenge for the reluctant technical manager is to accept that managing and leading people is a full-time job, requiring a new skill set including management skills, emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills and self-awareness.
Managing Technical Managers
The good news is that these skills can be learnt! This innovative program will give reluctant technical managers the critical skills to be able to develop as an empowered people manager.
In some workplaces, unhelpful behaviours might be tolerated rather than tackled and handled. That’s often because it’s preferable to focus on the project rather than the people.
