The Manager Role

Understanding your personal style as a manager.

One of the hardest transitions is to move from “doing the doing” to “managing the doing”.

We all have our own styles of management and we need to learn how to subtly adapt our styles depending on the situation.

This masterclass will enable you to reflect on how you currently carry out the manager role, the benefits and limitations of your style and whether there are any quick wins to propel you to further success.

You’ll learn the differences between leadership and management, how to identify when you need to switch between these two “hats” and how to do so successfully.

You will also have the opportunity to self-reflect on how you balance the various aspects of your manager role, and you’ll come away with a clear list of actions to help you become a more effective manager.

This workshop is for you if:

  • You have people who have recently moved into management or are about to, and you want to give them a solid foundation before they develop bad habits or struggle in silence
  • You’re an L&D or HR lead building a new manager induction or early leadership programme and need a practical, reflective session that covers the fundamentals without being overwhelming
  • Your managers are technically strong but still defaulting to doing the work themselves rather than leading through others, and you want to help them make that shift
  • You have experienced managers who would benefit from a reset — a space to reflect on their style, rebalance their priorities and take stock of what’s working

Very interesting to learn about the different management styles. I had never seen these described before and it has given me a lot of food for thought not just about my own potential style(s) but also helping me understand my manager a bit more.
