How Our Management Training Courses Empower Emerging Leaders and Their Teams

In today’s ever-evolving workplace, transitioning from being an individual contributor to becoming a truly effective leader is one of the most significant steps in a professional’s career.

These programmes not only build essential skills but also foster a culture of growth, collaboration, and resilience within teams and organisations.

The Management Behaviours Programme: For Entry to Mid-Level Managers

Designed for entry to mid-level managers, our Management Behaviours Programme lays the foundation for effective leadership by focusing on core management behaviours and cultivating a growth mindset.

Why Entry to Mid-Level Managers Need Support

Gallup’s 2024 State of the Global Workplace Report reveals a significant challenge: nearly 70% of team engagement variance is due to the quality of the manager. Entry and mid-level managers often lack the foundational training required to lead effectively, which can lead to increased turnover, decreased productivity, and low morale. By focusing on management behaviours and instilling a growth mindset, PUSH ensures that managers are equipped to face these challenges head-on.

‍

Additionally, LinkedIn’s 2024 Workforce Learning Report highlights that organisations focused on career development experience higher employee engagement and retention. 90% of L&D professionals agree that career development opportunities are critical for improving employee retention. By investing in leadership training, organisations can boost managers’ confidence, helping them manage complex team dynamics and achieve better overall business results.

Practical Outcomes for Managers

Managers who participate in the Management Behaviours Programme report improved communication skills, enhanced team collaboration, and a stronger ability to set clear expectations. These outcomes directly contribute to building a thriving workplace culture where individuals feel valued and motivated to achieve shared goals.

Leading the Way Programme: For Established Managers and Emerging Leaders

For established managers and emerging leaders, our Leading the Way Programme bridges the gap between technical expertise and strategic leadership. This comprehensive management leadership programme, also delivered by Cate Murden, helps participants step into senior roles with confidence and purpose.

‍

Programme highlights include:

• Self-Awareness as a Leader: Understand personal strengths and leadership styles to inspire through emotional intelligence.
• Business-Focused Leadership: Translate team goals into measurable outcomes that align with organisational objectives.
• Real-World Application: With 1:1 coaching and practical workshops, managers leave with a clear growth plan tailored to their roles.

This leadership training programme empowers participants to become influential leaders who inspire their teams and drive organisational growth.

Challenges for Senior Leaders

Emerging leaders often face the difficult task of balancing strategic vision with the day-to-day operations of their teams. McKinsey's The State of Organisations 2023 report highlights the significant hurdles faced by leaders in aligning organisational priorities with execution, revealing that many struggle with clear communication and managing the complex dynamics of their teams. Furthermore, McKinsey points out that 70% of transformations fail, primarily due to ineffective leadership execution. Our Leading the Way Programme equips managers with the tools they need to better align their teams with broader business objectives while cultivating resilience and adaptability—skills that are essential for driving transformation and achieving long-term success.

‍

Deloitte’s Global Human Capital Trends report reveals that only 41% of surveyed leaders believe their organisations are equipped to tackle future challenges. PUSH’s tailored approach ensures leaders are fully prepared to navigate complex environments and achieve measurable impact.

Addressing Unique Leadership Challenges

Leaders often face unique challenges such as managing remote teams, driving innovation under tight deadlines, and fostering inclusivity. Through tailored sessions, our programme addresses these specific issues, equipping leaders with actionable strategies to succeed in diverse environments.

Real-Life Impact: Leadership Training Success Stories

• A 25% increase in team productivity within six months.
• Improved team cohesion, as measured by employee engagement surveys.

These examples highlight our programmes' transformative impact on individuals and organisations.

Mental Health Training for Managers

In today’s demanding workplace, supporting managers with the knowledge and tools to address mental health is essential. Our mental health training for managers, delivered by PUSH’s in-house psychotherapist Stephanie Queen, equips people managers with the skills to:

• Identify and address stress or burnout within their teams.
• Build resilience and emotional well-being across the organisation.
• Foster open, supportive communication that promotes team cohesion.
