Managers play an essential role in all organisations, no matter the industry sector nor the size of the business. Managers are the individuals who ensure that things are implemented effectively and good managers require an extensive skillset. It is because the skillset is so wide that managers need to invest in and be invested in constant learning and development.
The Oakridge Centre provides a wide range of programmes and services created for managers, all of which are tailor-made to suit your organisation. From team management and decision making to communication skills and project management The Oakridge Centre have been supporting the improvement of management skills for 25 years.
"Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them."
Paul Hawken
Team motivation, the ability to delegate, team development and providing constructive feedback are just some of the skills that all managers need to succeed. Add to that the management of team mental health, hybrid working or managing a remote team and it is clear today's managers need to constantly and consistently develop new skills.
Please take time to review the details of some of the different areas in which The Oakridge Centre can support managers within your organisation and do remember that everything The Oakridge Centre provides is tailor-made to your needs.
