Leader and Manager Essentials: Being a Leader and Manager at Sussex - Introduction
Tuesday 28 January 10:00 until 12:30
Online
Part of the series: Leader and Manager Essentials
Target audience: All staff (Academic and Professional Services) with management responsibilities.
From time to time all managers will face conversations which they anticipate will be challenging and which they may feel ill-equipped to manage. Scenarios of this kind include addressing under-performance, tackling instances of unacceptable behaviour, investigating reports of bullying, giving developmental feedback, turning down employee requests, or dealing with sensitive personal issues.
This workshop will introduce a range of practical tools and techniques to support you to have meaningful and constructive conversations.
The purpose of this workshop is...
To help colleagues to transition from a non-management role to becoming a people manager by raising awareness of the mindset shift required, leadership styles and core practices to being an effective manager and a leader at Sussex.
