Public course
Essential management and communication skills
Tuesday 24 April 2012
14.00 to 17.30
This popular half-day course is run by John Forrester who has been working with architects on staff development issues for over five years, both as a trainer and as a management consultant. In that time, he has built a remarkable insight into the complexities of creating architectural teams and getting the best from creative people.
This course draws on John’s experience of working with architects and applies his extensive knowledge of management techniques and theory, without using jargon. It offers practical ways to manage creative people that are intelligent, flexible, resilient and subtle.
Topics addressed:
• Roles and responsibilities of management
• The team leder as a role model
• Teamwork and group dynamics
• Understanding the individual
• Managing with confidence
• Basic communication and assertiveness skills
• Clarity, persuasion and impact
• Giving and receiving feedback
As with all Colander training, this course is workshop in its style. It draws on John’s personal expertise, as well as proven theory and advice, supported by group discussions and activities. Numbers are limited to allow a lively, interactive session and make sure that the teaching is relevant to each delegate; all delegates receive a comprehensive set of bound course notes.
