This training set out to help you to manage the performance of your workforce through common sense techniques that focus on the effective use of communication and goal setting to improve productivity and increase morale and motivation.

With the techniques outlined in this training course you will feel empowered to enhance the performance of your team and begin to collaborate with them to improve their behaviors and ability in their role.

Managing Performance to Increase Productivity with our Quality Training

Management is ultimately about getting things done through others. Without a structured and clear approach to managing performance, where employees know what is expected of them and how they should approach their role, a manager is unable to effectively meet the level of productivity that is required. This will reflect badly on them and can impact on their own development. 

Therefore, managing performance can be one of the single most important things for a manager to get right. This requires a goal-focused, common-sense approach to working with employees that ensures they are motivated and focused on success.

These ‘Managing Performance’ training course materials will provide you with everything you need to develop the skills and build the confidence of your management audience.

Reasons for Poor Performance – Highlighting the underlying factors behind poor performance and individual mindsets. 

Helping Poor Performers – Focusing on behaviour and results – translating ‘attitude’ to observed behaviours and looking to create improvement opportunities. Activities that review specific workplace scenarios. 

Developing Average Performers – Knowing values and motivators, what drives performers and how to get the best out of their performance whilst still encouraging them. 

Guiding High Performers – Establishing boundaries, creating opportunities, giving feedback and knowing when to praise. 

Managing Conflict and Discipline – Resolving conflict issues and embracing the opportunity disagreement can provide. Looking at the key components of discipline and following a set structure for implementation. 

The ‘DESC’ Model – Provision of a communication model that assists participants with structuring conversations around performance issues.

What is our Phoenix Effect workshop about?
Our Phoenix Effect workshop helps your organisation burn down the toxic elements of its organisational culture and working environment and rebuild them through a positive, collaborative, and people-focused long-term plan. 
The plan is created by the end of the workshop for everyone to take away and collaborate in its success. The success will be managed, driven and, yes, even policed by the Organisational Culture Engagement Team (OCET), or whatever name you decide to give it. 
The team will consist of individuals from all levels within the organisation who are motivated to make this work and see the growth of a new and better organisational culture driven by its organisational values (make sure your values are people-focused). 
The overarching psychological safety will be guaranteed in the People Strategy document (I can help you with that if you haven’t got one yet). In it, the organisation will state that all colleagues, regardless of their position, will not just be permitted to say what they want to anyone at all, but that they will do so as part of their job. 
Furthermore, the organisational values should be copied into every job description as part of the employee contract. This, in turn, permits the one-to-one chats to ensure colleagues are doing their jobs by performing as they should and behaving in a manner that supports the organisational values and culture. 
The organisation will then be set up to continue on that journey, with everyone working collaboratively in a psychologically safe environment to grow a superb organisation to work in and attract new talent. 
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? 
All people in HR and Training/L&D. People from various levels who will have volunteered and been identified as motivated to drive the organisation-wide development required to succeed. 
Why? 
We should ALL want to help improve our working environment and make our teams feel safe and happy. 
Regardless of who we work with or for, we must all do everything we can to work well together and build and maintain excellent working relationships. 
When we truly understand things from the perspective of others (our Moccasin Approach®), we are far better able to communicate and work with them effectively and efficiently. 
It’s the people in an organisation who make it or break it. They help create positivity or negativity. Do well by your people, and they will do well by you.
Workshop Content
All Phoenix Effect workshops are facilitated by our managing director, Mac Macdonald, who has vast experience helping organisations from all industries of all sizes and sectors. 


We open with our ingredients of Emotional Intelligence (EI).
We then delve into the truth about Organisational Culture (OC) and share our honest thoughts and opinions.
Everyone completes our OC self-assessment in small groups and then shares their thinking to build a starting hit list.
Small group discussions to establish possible solutions to their OC issues?
What causes these issues, and what can we suggest as possible solutions?
How will the fire burn down the old culture, and how will the new culture rise from those ashes and plan the change?
We will discuss our ES2 thinking and see why it is critical to this Phoenix Effect objective.
We discuss “Consequence Conversations” and why they must be used.
We examine our “ARCHWAY Approach”® to understand why it can be used as a health checker.

Forget small spaces, darkness, and spiders, standing up in front of a crowd and talking is far more terrifying for most people. Through this workshop you will become more confident and relaxed in front of an audience which will translate into a successful speaking event.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;">However, mastering this fear and getting comfortable speaking in public can be a great ego booster, not to mention a huge benefit to your career. The Public Speaking workshop will give participants some public speaking skills, including in-depth information on developing an engaging program and delivering their presentation with power.</p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text);

<div>Are you curious about woodwork but not sure where to start?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Do you want to make beautiful, tactile wooden objects but don&rsquo;t know the techniques or processes required to take an idea and transform it into high-end, saleable, object?&nbsp;</div>

<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Our kitchen utensils weekend is designed to give you a taste of all the basic woodworking steps needed to take a project from start to finish. The goal being that you leave the weekend confident you can continue practicing on your own projects at home.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>It is worth noting that our course is likely different to the other wooden utensil courses you may have seen, as we opt for dry rather than green wood - we also don&rsquo;t mind using the odd power tool here and there.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>So why we do we used dry wood rather than green?&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Green wood is far softer and therefore easier to use when it comes to traditional hand carving. However, due to the high moisture content of green wood it also means that pieces need to be dried before they can be completely finished &ndash; which can take weeks if not months.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>During our time with us, we want to introduce you to as many techniques and processes as we can &ndash; this coupled with the fact that we come from a commercial carpentry background where speed and efficiency are not only desirable but necessary basically puts green wood out of the picture.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Not only will we teach you the skills needed to carve and sculpt with with dry wood but we will also talking you through the finishing processes and by the end of the weekend you will have a fully refined piece/s.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>In order to achieve this goal we are more than happy to use power tools where needed to get things done. &nbsp;It is worth considering the timeliness of techniques if your intention is to start a business with the skills you have learnt.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>All our courses are informal affairs but it&rsquo;s important to us that you walk away with both knowledge and skills that you can actually use. So, whilst all our courses have an outcome, our main priority is that you get a good grasp of the techniques. This is aided by the fact that our class sizes are limited to a maximum of 4 people.</div>
<div>&nbsp;</div>
<div>Course Breakdown:</div>
<div>&bull; Health &amp; safety in the workshop&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Discussion on Form vs Function &ndash; this will help inform your designs&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Pros &amp; Cons of Kiln-dried vs Green Wood</div>
<div>&bull; Rough out Shapes &amp; Profiles on Bandsaw</div>
<div>&bull; Different carving techniques both traditional &amp; modern&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Sanding &amp; finishing &ndash; we will also show you how to make an oil and wax&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; finish and give you a pot to take home.</div>
<div>&bull; Polishing &amp; Buffing&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Discuss how these skills are transferable to other projects.&nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Laser engraving onto your utensils &ndash; If you&rsquo;re interested in engraving&nbsp;</div>
<div>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; designs on to your items we can show you how. &nbsp;</div>
<div>&bull; Information &amp; Data sheets for you to continue making from home.&nbsp;</div>

Despite being a requirement under the Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017), in 2023/24 the SRA found that 19% of files reviewed did not contain a client and matter risk assessment (CMRA), with a further 12% of files containing ineffective CMRAs. 

At best, the firms conducting these files were putting themselves at risk of regulatory action for failure to comply with the MLR 2017. More seriously, firms may have been facilitating money laundering through their failure to adequately assess and address the risks posed by clients and matters. 

The SRA has issued a number of significant fines to firms with no, or insufficient, CMRAs in place. In the year August 2024 to July 2025, firms were fined over £950,000 where ineffective or missing CMRAs were noted. 

Although a firm’s MLRO, MLCO or its managers bear ultimate responsibility for ensuring its compliance with the MLR 2017, it is the responsibility of all those working on behalf of the firm to conduct and document the appropriate processes and checks on a day-to-day basis. Therefore, it is imperative that all staff understand not only how to complete a CMRA, but also the importance of doing so thoroughly and correctly. 

This course will assist fee earners and support staff in confidently and competently completing client and matter risk assessments, understanding the types of risks to be identified and the importance of correctly identifying these. 

Where the SRA has found failings at firms in respect of CMRAs, it has almost unanimously also found shortcomings in other areas of AML compliance. Where concerns are raised regarding a firm’s compliance with any aspect of the MLR 2017, the SRA will probe further and look into all areas of AML compliance.

Completing Client and Matter Risk Assessments Course

General Delegate

A discount is available for delegates attending from firms with a current retainer contract with DG Legal (please contact us by email to admin@dglegal.co.uk for confirmation of eligibility).   If you choose this option and are not eligible, you are still bound to pay the full rate and will be invoiced accordingly.

Retainer Delegate

Source of funds and source of wealth are two important verification steps a firm can take to identify potential money laundering activities or other financial crime.

The Money Laundering Regulations 2017 (MLR 2017) require firms, where necessary, to scrutinise the source of funds of a transaction to ensure they are consistent with their knowledge of the customer, their business and risk profile. In addition, where a matter is considered to be higher risk and therefore subject to enhanced due diligence, firms must also investigate the client’s overall source of wealth.

Law firm staff must be able to differentiate between source of funds and source of wealth, having knowledge of how to verify each and identify any anomalies that do not align with their understanding of the client or the matter. Staff must have the knowledge and confidence to challenge clients and seek further clarification where the source may be unclear or highlight concerns.

A number of firms who failed to sufficiently identify the source of funds and/or source of wealth have recently been fined by the SRA. In the year August 2024 to July 2025, fines in excess of £475,000 were recorded for AML breaches that included source of funds and source of wealth failings.

This course will assist fee earners and support staff in understanding the difference between source of funds and source of wealth, enabling them to capably identify and verify funds in a matter.

Where the SRA has found failings at firms in respect of source of funds or source of wealth, it has almost unanimously also found shortcomings in other areas of AML compliance. Where concerns are raised regarding a firm’s compliance with any aspect of the MLR 2017, the SRA will probe further and look into all areas of AML compliance.

This workshop is designed to examine how we care for our customers. We do this by identifying many aspects of many customers and using data from those attending our workshops.
We also look at types of customers, how they usually behave, and how we can negatively impact them through careless interactions or positively through careful communication, consideration, and using an "ACE"—Approach with Care and Empathy. 
We aim to see people leave our workshop with far better insights into customer-facing best practices and ideas to improve their training for customer-facing employees.



LENGTH - Normally, one day. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - Anyone involved in a customer-facing role or training their customer-facing staff.
Why? - The ultimate goal in customer-facing skills is to win lifelong customers by continuously managing customer relationships, to gain those lifelong customers.
Any business that can see a consistent issue with retaining customers is in for a tough time. But we ask you to go a step further by not just keeping customers happy but attracting new customers and focussing on retaining our high-impact customers.
Our thinking extends to 'Occupying our customer's consciousness.' A persistent fishing expedition to continually engage our customers, even when it is not to buy something. This engagement gives us an almost permanent inroad to their internal marketing, follow-on sales, recommendations, and loyalty.
Workshop Content
Define a customer and what we are to them.
Share specific experiences you or someone you know may have had, good and bad.
Share some good and bad ways you and others have dealt with customers.
Discuss our Ten Types of Customers and ask you to decide which you get more than others.
Break into groups to analyse our data and ask you to discuss it.
Discuss our Customer-facing model and why lifelong relationships are critical to managing customers.
Look at our thoughts on managing our top ten customer types.
Through small group discussions, create a top 5 action list to take away and review in 3 months.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

This Emotional intelligence-based course covers aspects of training, facilitation, question techniques, time management, people skills, assertiveness, and communication.
The first day builds on what attendees have already experienced and asks the more experienced attendees to share some of their experiences with the group. These are useful to discuss real issues.
On day two, we round off the discussions by lunchtime and the afternoon is spent planning the final session to be facilitated the next day. Our facilitator guides and coaches in the afternoon and will also be available during the evening for phone calls.
On the third day, everyone delivers their mini-coaching session (following our coaching template) while managing their fellow delegates who act as learners in the learning centre. 



LENGTH - Normally, three days. But please contact us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? 
Anyone who works in a Learning Centre or other educational setting where the monitoring and coaching of learners may be required.
Why? 
One could argue that the perfect attendee in a Learning Centre is the one who comes in, manages everything by themselves and leaves without any need for assistance. If you have many of these, you are indeed blessed.
Turning your attention to the others who do occasionally or often need your assistance, these are the people we must feel confident we can manage in the right way.
Our informal approach to the course and to managing a Learning Centre and the learners who visit it will prepare even the newest Support Specialists for most situations within their working environment.
It is important that your learners complete their courses in good time, so ensuring people have the required skills means our completion rate should be excellent.
Training Course Content
We dip into Emotional Intelligence, what it is, its ingredients and how we can use it.
We ask all the Support Specialists to analyse everything you do to identify your many roles.
We discuss our SAS feedback model and help everyone understand why it is so powerful.
We discuss our Coaching Structure and how it can be adapted depending on the situation and learners' needs.
We investigate the issue of challenging learners, why they can be challenging and what approaches Support Specialists can take to manage this.
We discuss learner engagement and how we can motivate or demotivate people using our centres.
We discuss the many question techniques and their uses but focus on the Reasoning Questions for use in the coaching aspect of the last day and, more importantly, back in the centre.
Course delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

“Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time. 
What we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.”
Sydney J. Harris - American journalist. (1917 – 1986).

Change is constant in our lives, yet our ability to resist it, avoid or even stop it is also constant. But why? And how do we fix this?
This workshop examines the many challenges change brings and identifies the various types of people in a change process. We will brainstorm all the possible reasons for resistance to change and discuss our experiences with those who were resistant to the idea of change. 
We then look to work positively on solving or at least reducing all the negative aspects of change and positioning change in a far more positive light. 
In some cases, the impending change will upset pretty much everyone in the organisation, and we need to know how to mitigate its impacts. In fact, we need to understand how sometimes we can agree with most people's thinking, understand their resistance and negativity, and still be able to turn things around to prove that the change needs to happen.
Changes will happen, and whilst we can’t remove all the negatives from each person's perspective, we can plan, prepare, and manage change surprisingly well when we have the tools and processes to do so.
Always remember to get your people to think about the long game.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - All Leaders and Managers who have to manage change.
Why? - Change is costly, and if you’re going to spend money and use resources, you need to ensure you get the best ROI possible. When change impacts many of your people, it may be unwelcome and unwanted, but if it is right for the organisation, you need to know how to position it, advertise it, and sell it.
Don’t hide away from those who push back against change. Come along and chat with us to understand how those who push against change can be your greatest ally as you plan and prepare the whole organisation for the impending journey of change.
Workshop Content
Why is Emotional Intelligence a key aspect of how we approach meetings?
What is change to you, your colleagues and the business?
What are the different mindsets involved with change?
We examine our six principles and stages of change management and stakeholders.
Why do some people work towards change and others resist?
How do we cope with resistance to change in the right way?
We discuss our 'Change Champions' and 'Change Chokers' concepts.
We discuss the 'Six Principles of Influence' from Robert Cialdini to help us win people over.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

We communicate daily in many ways, including email, phone, text, Zoom, Teams, Google Meets, Slack, and even that old-fashioned thing, what was it now... oh yes, talking face-to-face.
But, when we look at communication closely and really drill down into what we are doing in conjunction with how our brain works (neuroscience), how internal, organisational, and social politics control what we believe we can say, how hierarchical positioning impacts our honesty and how the lack of psychological safety means we say what we know others want to hear rather than what they need to hear…. It is oh so complicated!
This workshop not only explores the concept of excellent communication, but we also want to hear what you believe it is too. We also delve into how organisational culture influences our perception of speaking up. Factors that hinder open and honest communication, and we work collaboratively towards removing these barriers to achieve a communication style that fosters trust and transparency, creating psychological safety. 
This workshop is particularly relevant to our Emotional Intelligence workshop (EI and Me). We firmly believe that developing emotional intelligence is the key to unlocking Clean Communication, a skill that is crucial for all of us, regardless of our roles and responsibilities, so that we thrive in our professional environment.
If you want to see if we are correct, why not have us facilitate a workshop for you and see what you get by the end of it?

Our Leadership and Management programmes are not just off-the-shelf solutions. They are tailor-made to fit your unique organisation and its specific needs and environment, ensuring every attendee's sense of relevance and personalisation.
They include many aspects of our stand-alone workshops, so you can pick and mix the ingredients you want to effect the change you wish to see from the outcomes. 
We thread your values into our programme to ensure they are inculcated through every workshop and into the minds of all attendees. This helps embed them into everyday thinking and ensures everyone knows why they are critical to your organisation's success.
We extend a warm invitation to all Leaders and Managers, irrespective of their hierarchical position or role, to attend this programme. This inclusivity is a testament to our belief that everyone, from the executive team to the newly promoted Manager or Leader, plays a crucial role in your organisation's success by using the same principles when managing and leading their people.
Our workshops do not sugarcoat the truth. We say what we mean to ensure clarity and recognition of why the ingredients matter. We do not pick out individuals, we do not embarrass, and many discussions are conducted in groups of three. Those groups then come together to share their thoughts and opinions and learn from each other. This ensures that all voices are heard, all ideas considered, and all challenges shared and addressed as a committed organisation.
Accountability and responsibility feature in our sessions. Our facilitator is accountable and responsible for ensuring professionalism and honesty; we expect the same from all participants. You are investing in them; in return, they will invest with commitment, effort and diligence.
“If you stop trying to please others and just do the right thing,
with authenticity, transparency, and integrity,
you will win the hearts and minds of those about you organically.”

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - All those who lead or manage others and those who will be in the near future (the next 12 months) unless you already have an aspiring leaders programme.
Why? - Most people interested in such a programme are reading this because they already know why it is critical. More often than not, you are trying to decide who to talk to about it.
Those who know people know how different we all are, how political shenanigans cause havoc with open and honest conversations, how people are too afraid to speak out, and how trust is desperately sought after but sadly not yet present. They also know that all this needs 'fixing.' At LaPD Solutions, it’s what we do.
Organisations that realise their most important resource is their people will also realise they must invest in them to ensure consistency, lived values, and behavioural excellence. Only then will they attain the best possible success and profit margin.

In the US alone, it has been estimated that the cost of unnecessary meetings and wasted time is over $35 billion!
Many executives feel overwhelmed by meetings, and no wonder: On average, they spend nearly 23 hours a week in them, up from less than 10 hours in the 1960s. Moreover, the meetings are often poorly timed, badly run, or both. Quote from Harvard Revue 2017. 
Our Managing Meetings workshop looks at the common reasons for meetings that give some attendees little or no value. It identifies the efficiency killers and works to understand what causes each issue and what possible solutions we can come up with to discuss and plan to experiment with back in the workplace. 
During the day, we invite every member to play a crucial role, conduct a meeting, and analyse the short meeting. Once we have done this, we collaboratively plan the next version of the meeting and use some of the tools we incorporate into the day to feel the impact and reap the benefits. Your input is invaluable as we do not work in your environment.
By following the meeting structure and guidelines we provide, you will not only enjoy efficient and effective meetings, but also see a significant boost in productivity and a reduction in unnecessary meeting time. The benefits are real and tangible.





LENGTH - Normally one day. But please get in touch with us to discuss your specific needs, or we can offer advice.  
NEXT WORKSHOP START - Please ask for more information as we deliver bespoke closed events for your people at your location or a mutually suitable location.
WORKSHOP DELIVERY - The best environment for this workshop is face-to-face, but we can facilitate this workshop online.



Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is generally for Leaders and Managers so they can pass on the skills and tools to ensure their direct reports learn how to manage an efficient and effective meeting.
Why? Meetings are expensive. You only have to take a weekly meeting you attend, calculate the time by each person's hourly pay, and then sit down to recover.
Inefficient meetings waste time and money and frequently annoy people. They can also badly affect their productivity, and then they get told off for not being more productive!
Help your people be more efficient in meetings. Get what’s required out of each one and stop the ones that are not required at all.
Workshop Content
Why is Emotional Intelligence a key aspect of how we approach meetings?
What are the main reasons for planning or being invited to a meeting?
How do we plan the time required for a meeting?
What do we do in a meeting, and in what order?
How do we know when someone is talking too much, and what can be done about it?
How can we make each person's time at a meeting more efficient?
How can we ensure all the points from the last meeting were actioned before the next meeting?
We look at our Meeting Structure and Attendee Roles to help manage future meetings.
Workshop delivery and venue
When you consider the content we deliver, we are sure you will understand why we always prefer to deliver our workshops, courses and programmes face-to-face.
Face-to-face workshops and courses can be held at a location of your choice or, if you wish, a central UK location, such as the Macdonald Burlington Hotel in Birmingham, located directly across from the Birmingham New Street train station.
We can deliver our workshops, courses and programmes online, although this will mean splitting elements into manageable learning events to suit the online environment.

Our Moccasin Manager and our Moccasin Approach offer a unique perspective on understanding and addressing management challenges, paving the way for positive change. It's important to note that this is not a quick fix but a journey that requires commitment, effort, proactive teamwork, measurement, responsibility, and accountability from your organisation.
In this interactive workshop, your managers will have the opportunity to share their management challenges, concerns, worries, and hopes. Together, we will explore how our approaches can help identify and address these issues and discuss strategies for implementation. We also encourage participants to commit to follow-up discussions after the workshop to track progress and address ongoing challenges.

Suitability - Who should attend?
Who Should Attend and Why?
Who? - This is for any level of Manager or Leader (regardless of hierarchical position) and those expected to step into managerial or leadership roles in the next 12 to 18 months.
Why? - From our experience, most new managers and leaders are rarely given proper management or leadership training before their first appointment. If you think about it, this is inviting problems! How can you expect someone to step up from being one of the team to managing the team (or another team) without proper training?
Very few organisations do this, but those who continue to do this for all their rising talent say it produces benefits and helps everything work smoothly. They would not continue to run these programmes with us if it were not.

They also want them to have time to practice the skills before they take up their new positions.
Managers need to know how to manage people, which means understanding how people are different, how they want to be treated, and how they do not want to be treated. This may seem common sense until you bring in the organisation's culture.
