Line Manager Development

Great line managers are pivotal in helping businesses succeed.  They have their own operational targets to deliver.

they are responsible for unlocking the passion, purpose and capability of their direct reports to deliver their targets.

Line management covers a wide range of skills and behaviours, from defining roles and objectives to ensuring that training and development needs are met, all while creating the kind of environment where people will enjoy working, are motivated to do their best and which retains talent.

Each line management programme we run is tailored to meet the needs of your organisation.  Here are a selection of the topics that can be included:

  • Situational Leadership

  • Diagnosing Development Needs

  • Giving and Receiving Feedback

  • Listening

  • Communicating

  • Personal Development Planning

  • Having Crucial Conversations

  • Engaging Direct Reports

  • Presenting Skills

  • Performance Management Benchmarking

  • Motivating Others

  • Reward and Recognition

  • Career Conversations

The programme we design for you is based around the principles of blended learning: 70% on the job, 20% from others and 10% from courses or books.  Learning the tools is only part of being a good manager, you also need to be able to make them work for you and apply them successfully on the job.

We’ll match your culture in our delivery and role model your values throughout. We deliver both in person or online.

I just wanted to drop you a note to say thanks again for the Line Manager Programme you have delivered for Armitages. I felt the content of the course was great and for me personally it reminded me of what’s important in terms of being a leader within a business.

I have been through many variations of training through my career and I felt that you delivered the course and the material brilliantly. You were very aware of your audience and knew how to engage and motivate some very different characters. You definitely lived up to your purpose of ‘helping people to unlock their potential and for them to have a positive effect with others’.

I hope to work with you again in the future and I will do my utmost to keep the momentum going.
