An effective leader needs to combine technical and managerial skills in order to best perform his or her work.

However, since the vast majority of leaders in software houses are selected based on their technical know-how, there are often significant gaps in the managerial part of the skill-set.

While most leaders try to make do, using trial and error, or basing their approach on their own experience with their own, previous leaders, this can lead to the perpetuation of ineffective, or even potentially harmful solutions. As such, a this training was designed specifically for present and potential leaders, devoted to building and improving their managerial skills

The Supportive Leader training is designed as a short introduction, focusing on teaching key leadership skills and attitudes for effective leaders. It is an intensive package, transferring several of the key skills needed in effectively managing a team.

Areas of implementation:
  • preparatory training for people soon to be promoted to the position of team leader or similar
  • assistance for informal leaders in the company and for people with leadership potential
  • a good support training for people already working as team leaders and managers in the company
