Technical Management Training Skills Course

Technical Management Training is interesting, as often the technical manager would rather be involved in managing the project, rather than managing the people. The “people management” may not be within the skillset.

The challenge for the reluctant technical manager is to accept that managing and leading people is a full-time job, requiring a new skill set including management skills, emotional intelligence, interpersonal skills and self-awareness.

Managing Technical Managers

The good news is that these skills can be learnt! This innovative program will give reluctant technical managers the critical skills to be able to develop as an empowered people manager.

In some workplaces, unhelpful behaviours might be tolerated rather than tackled and handled. That’s often because it’s preferable to focus on the project rather than the people.

Dr Marny Lishman crated an amazing space that not only was open, safe and caring, but gave insight into many different aspects of resilience. She apprieciated different perspectives and opened discussions that were supported and wise. The presentation was targeted and had the perfect balance of knowledge and reflection. I would encourage this workshop for any team, especially those preparing of have gone through organisational change!
