Tailored Management Training

Our training for management programs can be tailored as in-house programs to address specific issues within your company.

We cover fundamental management skills such as line management, performance management, time management, project management and change management.

Most people who end up managing others didn’t plan to do so and can benefit from management training.

Surveys verify that managers tend to fall into the role rather than choosing it as a career option.

It tends to go like this: someone applies for a job that looks very interesting; they interview well, get the job and begin their new working life.

After a year or two (or in some cases less) management notices how good someone is at what they do and they decide to promote that person into a management role.

They believe that if they are good at their current job, they’ll surely be good at managing others to do the same thing.

Management Skills

Sometimes, what happens is that when getting promoted, the skills that were valued in their previous role become of secondary importance to management skills the person doesn’t have.

It isn’t exactly the Peter Principle where people are promoted to their level of incompetence.

More, it’s like the Oh-Gosh,-What-Do-I-Do-Now? Principle, where people are promoted because of their competency but aren’t then given the training and backing they need to do the job well.

We actually think it’s quite bizarre really that something so important for organisations as the management of their people is left to chance.

Managed To Managing

The jump from being managed to managing can be significant and yet time and again, good people fail in management roles because they haven’t got the basic skills that would see them succeed (and succeed well) as managers.

One of these recent surveys said that half of UK workers who leave their jobs (voluntarily as opposed to being made redundant) do so because of bad managers.

And it is not surprising that the UK spends less money on management training than our global competitors. Sad, but not surprising.

After all this gloomy news, the really, really good news is that our training for managers is accessible, straightforward and, when run well, courses for training managers can be lots of fun too!

“After a difficult time in managing a team member, Impact Factory really helped me to delve into and analyse my situation and give a fresh perspective. I would highly recommend this course if you are leading a team and would like to learn how to deal with the various personalities you may come across.”
