21st Century Management – Be a more effective manager

21st Century approach to management development for 21st Century managers

This management development day has been designed for anyone with people management responsibility. Our research has revealed a framework that can be used by managers to develop their positive impact on workplace engagement.

This four factor model describes a manager who Motivates, Considers, Converses and Cares for their team. We call this model MC³. The four factors can be broken down further into eight sub-factors that managers can focus on to create practical plans for effective action.

During the workshop you will be asked to score yourself and your manager on the four areas of Considers, Cares, Motivates and Converses. We want you to see this framework as a opportunity to discover what you need, and what you can do, to become a more engaged and engaging manager.

Considers Zones:

The Recognising Zone will prompt you to consider what recognition means to you. What acknowledgement do you expect when you have gone the extra mile, and what do you give to your team to show you appreciate their efforts?

In the Supporting Zone, you’ll take part in a practical exercise in teamwork to explore how mutual support can help lighten the mood as well as the load.

Cares Zone:

In the Caring Zone, you’ll enter a laboratory to take a scientific look at the importance of caring for the individuals in your team.

In the Understanding Zone, you’ll be taking a lighter look at some serious issues around the impact that work can have on your life outside of work and the need to understand this impact for you and your team.

Motivates Zones:

In the Inspiring Zone interactive game play will challenge you to make leadership decisions. You’ll then be asked to consider if you’re getting the leadership that you need to be able to deliver the clarity your team needs.

In the Energising Zone you’ll be entering the head of an employee to see the impact that the culture of an organisation can have on managers and their team.

Converses Zones:

In the Listening Zone you’ll be presented with a series of scenarios and asked to make a judgement about them, you’ll then be given the opportunity to listen to what others have to say, and decide whether gathering this information about other people’s perspectives alters your judgement.

In the Informing Zone, you will meet three managers and be challenged with deciding what they should do for the best, and see the consequences of those decisions.
