EFFECTIVE LEADERSHIP
& MANAGEMENT SKILLS
& MANAGEMENT SKILLS
Overview
This programme has been developed from our 25 years of working with top leaders across industry. During that time, the business world has evolved and continues to evolve rapidly. New technology, new legislation and new ways of working, mean that the modern Manager is no longer just a Manager.
The modern Manager needs to inspire exceptional performance from a wide range of people with different skill sets and motivations. The modern Manager can’t just manage in the traditional sense, they need to show leadership, they need to coach, they need to train, they need to motivate, they need to engender great teamwork and they need to get each and every member of their team focused and contributing effectively to achieve the desired result.
The ultimate measure of a leader is not where they stand in moments of comfort, but where they stand at times of challenge and controversy.

On this programme we utilise the Insights Discovery concept of personal preferences to enable participants to understand themselves at a deeper level and the people they lead. Each participant completes a Discovery profile prior to the programme, this enables us to help participants understand their leadership style and to identify areas for improvement. We then focus on eight key areas of Transformational Leadership
- Creating a compelling vision
- Leading change
- Communicating with impact
- Fostering teamwork
- Facilitating development
- Leading from within
- Agile thinking
- Delivering results
As we work through the programme participants complete a personal action plan for each key area of their leadership wheel.

The Programme
When an individual learner or a team sign up to a programme then the experience begins.
We will send the individual The MAX Learning Guide on the subject they have signed up to. The MAX learning guide is a structured way to work through the programme. It provides space for learners to take notes and it has expanded information for ongoing reference.
We will schedule a 15-minute zoom call with each learner to welcome them to the programme, explain the aims and objectives and process and to discuss their individual learning objectives.
Learners will then be sent the link to an interactive online programme which they can work through at their own pace. The programme is set out in logical sections and works in conjunction with the learning guide. The length of the online programme will vary depending on the subject.
Having completed the online modules, learners participate in the first of 3 group session on zoom, with all the other learners on the programme. During this typically two-hour session, we will go deeper into the subject and answer questions to help people absorb and apply the training. Learners also benefit from the social interaction. During this session we will run a quiz on the subject with live scoring. This is designed to give a point to the training and to help validate the training.
Following the Group Zoom deep dive, each learner will be sent a link to additional online learning and the validation exam for the programme. The results will be shared with the learner and a certificate will be issued to people who graduate from the programme.
Each learner will then have 2 x 1 hour Zoom coaching session with their Maxima coach. During these sessions we will work through personal development areas identified with the learner.
£750 per person plus vat – Rate includes an Insights Discovery profile, a Transformational Leadership profile The MAX Guide to Transformational Leadership and Management, access to online modules. 3 x 2 hour deep dive zoom sessions plus 2 x 1 hour personal coaching sessions
