About the Course
The critical element that differentiates the successful manager is the application of effective interpersonal skills. All too often, people have taken on management responsibilities on the strength of their sales or specialist skills. However, a management role depends on achieving results through others which requires a significantly different skill set.
How can you ensure you have the right mix of emotional intelligence and leadership skills to: meet corporate objectives, keep your team motivated, inspired AND performing?
Designed specifically for sales people with new management responsibility, this course will help you build emotional intelligence and your skills in leading, managing, empowering, influencing and driving the performance of others to meet organisational and personal objectives.
You will spend time revising behaviours, beliefs, values and attitudes, and then use this awareness to help develop the skills to enable you to manage, lead and motivate others to meet and exceed objectives.
You will take away a portfolio of realistic, relevant and immediately usable models, techniques and approaches that will dramatically improve your performance as a manager, help sustain productive working relationships with colleagues and build a committed and highly performing team.
Our instructor boasts vast experience in both management, leadership and behavioural psychology to provide you with meaningful insights, skills, tools and tactics. Don’t miss out.

Influencing with Questions
Getting people to buy-in to change, change old habits or reflect on deeply held assumptions is a core leadership capability. You’ve probably noticed that simply telling people what to do or showing lots of relevant data on Powerpoint slides rarely sways people – at best getting reluctant compliance.
In this webinar, Andrew Lee will show you some practical tools that will have an immediate effect.
