Ever wondered how you rate as a boss? Who is a good boss? What qualities and skills do good bosses have? Why do team members see them as good bosses? How you could be a better boss?
Too often very competent professionals are rewarded with promotion to the high diving board of management and/or supervision without adequate orientation, training and support. Often it's assumed that because you have excelled at what you do, your transition to management and/or supervision will be effortless and seamless. And while the perks of promotion might seem enticing, the reality of a managerial role often turns out to be a touch more daunting than perhaps you had expected.
If you have been promoted into a managerial or supervisory role or have been suddenly thrust into the limelight because everyone else took one step back or your time has come, this workshop could be for you.
In this 4 hour (9-13.00) introductory workshop, we will draw on recognised best practice management and supervision, feedback from our own Good Boss surveys (accessible from this home page - scroll down to participate) and the experiences of our international networks of change management consultants to:
- Assist participants to improve their knowledge and confidence in managing and/or supervising staff
- Better understand their role in leadership, management, responsibility and accountability
o Personal qualities, skills and behaviours of good bosses
o Benefits the good boss brings to the team and their organisation
o Respecting and valuing staff
o Motivating staff - Review and discuss case studies of common dilemmas faced by bosses
- Learn some tips and techniques for dealing with tricky managerial situations.
Preferred Audience:
From any industry -enthusiastic emerging leaders, new managers and supervisors with no formal management training and those who are just wondering if they are really are being the best boss they can be.
What to Bring:
A positive attitude, a willingness to learn and if you have one, a case study of a difficult to manage situation...perhaps one you would like some help with. (What is said in the room will stay in the room)

Join Alice Rota-Bartelink in a Master Class that addresses a particularly difficult problem

Master Class Aim:
To facilitate the transfer of skills and knowledge gained through evaluative research into the provision of appropriate support to clients living with alcohol related brain injury (ARBI).
To deliver education on the effects of long-term alcohol abuse on an older person and advise on strategies to assist service providers with managing behaviours of concern among older clients living in with an ARBI.

· Practice Delivering a Presentation and Answering Questions
Bring a 5 minute presentation on a memory stick
Ever wondered how you rate as a boss? Who is a good boss? What qualities and skills do good bosses have? Why do team members see them as good bosses? How you could be a better boss?
Too often very competent professionals are rewarded with promotion to the high diving board of management and/or supervision without adequate orientation, training and support. Often it's assumed that because you have excelled at what you do, your transition to management and/or supervision will be effortless and seamless. And while the perks of promotion might seem enticing, the reality of a managerial role often turns out to be a touch more daunting than perhaps you had expected.
If you have been promoted into a managerial or supervisory role or have been suddenly thrust into the limelight because everyone else took one step back or your time has come, this workshop could be for you.
In this 4 hour (9-13.00) introductory workshop, we will draw on recognised best practice management and supervision, feedback from our own Good Boss surveys (accessible from this home page - scroll down to participate) and the experiences of our international networks of change management consultants to:
- Assist participants to improve their knowledge and confidence in managing and/or supervising staff
- Better understand their role in leadership, management, responsibility and accountability
o Personal qualities, skills and behaviours of good bosses
o Benefits the good boss brings to the team and their organisation
o Respecting and valuing staff
o Motivating staff - Review and discuss case studies of common dilemmas faced by bosses
- Learn some tips and techniques for dealing with tricky managerial situations.
Preferred Audience:
From any industry -enthusiastic emerging leaders, new managers and supervisors with no formal management training and those who are just wondering if they are really are being the best boss they can be.
What to Bring:
A positive attitude, a willingness to learn and if you have one, a case study of a difficult to manage situation...perhaps one you would like some help with. (What is said in the room will stay in the room)
