Technical Management Training Skills
Technical Management Skills Training is interesting, as often the technical manager would rather be involved in managing the project, rather than managing the people.
In some workplaces, behaviours might be tolerated rather than tackled and handled.
Managing Technical Managers
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. 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.
