Sample training plan: 2-day hands-on design
This two-day design is for managers who lead through other people and across functions, where egos, styles and competing goals get in the way. Each participant brings one strained working relationship, with a direct report, peer or another department, and works on it throughout. They read behaviour styles, manage their own triggers, move a live conflict towards collaboration and practise the language that separates assertion from aggression or silence. A matrix simulation with clashing role briefs tests it all.
Participants can read behaviour styles, manage their own triggers and see how ego shapes their strained relationship.
