"Part of the LJMU LEAD Programme - Leadership Enhancement and Development".

If you are a manager of people, it is vital that you feel sufficiently confident to embark on career conversations with your reports. This workshop will take you some way to achieving that level of confidence.

Research tells us that these conversations are highly valued by staff and contribute significantly to levels of motivation, engagement and commitment to the organisation. Managers who readily address these issues are also perceived as more competent and supportive leaders.  However, we also know that many Managers feel intimidated discussing career aspirations and often these discussions are avoided. Commonly, a greater emphasis is placed on the more immediate HR requirements of job tasks and yearly objective setting.

This workshop will explore why these conversations are so important and outline the skills managers need to lead these effectively (note: this does not include specialist insight to the jobs market or career counselling skills!).

By the end of the workshop you will have an understanding of the approaches and steps to follow to steer a productive conversation about longer term hopes, challenges and ways forward with your reports. Equipped with some techniques AND greater confidence, you will be better able to tackle this vital management responsibility and support your team in a way which improves productivity and motivation and also enhances your leadership reputation.
