The Agile Manager

Managing the “new normal”

This one day course (delivered across two 1⁄2 days) has been developed to help managers become more confident and effective in managing remote and hybrid working situations.

The session focuses on the challenges managers face when leading a flexible working team and working within a blended working environment. We will identify strategies and tools to overcome the challenges of both manager and team member whilst enhancing and developing the skills required to manage and lead effectively in the new normal.
