“Every manager we have put through Management 1st has learned something, from understanding how to motivate and coach others to improving how they manage performance. The networking between managers on the programme is immensely valuable too.”
Liam Dolan-Barr, HR Director, Talarius
“The beauty of Management 1st is that it is suitable for those about to step into a supervisory position as well as those who are in their first management role and who have not received any formal development. The learning can be applied at different levels to suit the individual and can be built upon so that the outcomes not only benefit the individual, but the business as a whole. It’s given us the structure for a development programme.”
Clare Sheridan, Director of Learning & Development, Hotel Café Royal, London
“I’m extremely happy with how the Management 1st programme has been received. Our managers have found many of its models useful, particularly time management, organising themselves and managing their workload, as well as the coaching models and feedback models. We’re definitely getting more confident, I’ve seen it in emerging teams, and our younger or newer managers. We’re seeing positive results from feedback from our visitors too.”
Gemma Rowden, training manager, The View from The Shard
