A course in people skills for managers
![]() ‘People management’ aims at restoring this relative neglect of the human factor. Besides being thoroughly skill-oriented, the approach also addresses the underlying suppositions and motives, aiming at a real and remaining change. In this way, ‘People management’ enables managers to be much more successful in this respect and become more of a real leader. Method The program is custom-tailored. Its specific composition is determined in an intake session (one hour per participant). If needed, a short study (interviews, observation) can be done to gear the program even more to the organizational needs. Skills are taught by micro-teaching techniques, in which participants experience the skill in question from different perspectives (doing, undergoing and observing it). All exercises are discussed. There are also group counseling and feedback sessions. The program consists of three times two days two weeks apart (each time five day parts, with an overnight stay) and individual coaching sessions of two hours two weeks afterwards. Possible topics:
Results at the team and organizational level
Results at the individual level
