When you're looking for ideas to enhance your management development workshops - or even revamping your entire programme - everything you need is here in this one resource.
There are times when you don't need an entire pack dedicated to 'meetings' or 'performance appraisals' or 'leadership' or 'motivating the team' or 'time management'; but often you do need a session on a particular subject, as part of a much broader management development programme. That's when you'll turn to this pack - again and again.
All the core subjects, (those mentioned above plus many more), are covered by a different activity in this single resource.
The 20 tried and tested activities have been used successfully to:
Give new managers practice in the core skills
