		<h3>Description</h3>
		<p></p><p>The course supports leaders as they do two things. </p>
<ul>
<li>Harness the skills and energy of their people</li>
<li>Reduce the negative effects of over-centralization and micro-management.</li>
</ul>
<p>The content is designed to be thought-provoking and challenge ideas about the purpose of leadership.  It draws its inspiration from the concept of Mission Leadership, an idea which has its roots in military and emergency service leadership.  In Mission Leadership groups and individuals working for a leader are encouraged fully to understand the aims of their organization and their own critical role within it. As a result, they feel confident to act on their own initiative to achieve the mission. </p>
<p>The course is ideal for those who want to encourage initiative and decentralisation of authority and responsibility.</p>
<p>Join this course to engage with other leaders in discussing and developing the art of leadership. Develop new ideas, processes and assumptions with which to free up the people you lead and 'get stuff done'.</p>
<p><strong>Available as private Face to Face and virtual sessions (max 12 delegates) - £1,305 Plus VAT</strong></p>
<p></p>
	
		<h3>Modules/Lessons</h3>
		<p></p><p><strong>Module 1: The Theory</strong></p>
<p>What are we meant to be doing?  Working out the outputs.</p>
<p>Giving clear direction on what people should be doing.</p>
<p>Freeing people to do their best work.</p>
<p>Taking risks with people.</p>
<p>Developing people.</p>
<p><strong>Module 2: Making it Happen</strong></p>
<p>Practice giving Mission based instructions</p>
<p>Measuring success.</p>
<p>Supporting your people.</p>
<p>Why now? </p>
<p>Most organisations naturally respond to stress by centralizing power and authority. The greater the risks and the pressures, the more leaders feel that the only people they can trust to 'get stuff done' are themselves.  Eventually, those same leaders buckle under the stress because, it always turns out, that the boss cannot do it all.</p>
<p>During 2023 huge economic pressures will fight with the impacts of social, cultural and technological change to put a constant stream of new challenges on the shoulders of leaders.  There has probable never been a time when bosses feel under more pressure.  As a result the damaging effects of over-centralisation have never been more relevant.  Now is the moment to take some time and ask yourself, how can I make better use of my people?</p>
<p>Benefits?</p>
<p>Free yourself of the tendency to micro-manage.  You know you shouldn't do it.  Find a practical way to stop.</p>
<p>Help the people you lead to take responsibility, use their initiative and flourish as future leaders of your organization.</p>
<p>How?</p>
<p>Suitable for all leaders, but particularly those involved in complex operations and with large numbers of critical groups and individuals who must co-operate in pursuit of an overall goal.</p>
<p>Learn how to:</p>
<ul>
<li>give clear mission oriented instructions and to</li>
<li>give your people confidence that they can act on their initiative and with your support</li>
<li>manage the risk that results from giving your people their freedom to act</li>
</ul>
<p>Learn how to enable your people to:</p>
<ul>
<li>understand the mission and embrace their part in it</li>
<li>use their initiative and to take responsibility for their actions</li>
<li>build their confidence and independence</li>
<li>and manage their risk and that of the whole organization</li>
</ul>

<h2>Work Breakdown Structures: In-House Training</h2>
 <p>It's amazing how often project managers begin the project planning process by making an outlined list of every task they believe will be required to complete a project and then proclaim they have created the work breakdown structure (WBS) for the project. The result is a list of hundreds, or even thousands of tasks, many of them having durations of a few days or a few hours.</p>
 <p>Essentially, what they have done is create a 'to do' list, which they then use as a 'checklist' to measure progress. This approach leads to, and even encourages, micromanagement of the resources working on the project without consideration of more critical aspects of project management such as: requirements management, risk management, procurement management, estimating, scheduling, executing, and controlling. Further, it makes it impossible to see the big picture, at levels of detail, in keeping with the needs of sponsors, clients, project and functional managers, team leaders, and project performers.</p>
 <p>Join us for this exciting program and learn how to use the WBS to make better-informed business decisions.</p><h3>What You Will Learn</h3>

 <li>Determine the appropriate level of detail in the WBS.</li>

She always wants to be completely absorbed by the world of the novel, to jump into the character&rsquo;s life and be swept into the narrative as if she&rsquo;s been there all along. She&rsquo;s drawn in by compelling characters and relationships, and loves stories with a mystery or question at the heart of them. She&rsquo;s open to these ideas being explored in a variety of ways, but at the moment, she&rsquo;d particularly like to find an epic love story, a fun, queer rom-com with an unusual setting or pitch, and/or a sweeping family saga. She leans more towards contemporary settings but does enjoy a historical backdrop too.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">In non-fiction, she&rsquo;s looking for narrative non-fiction, history from different perspectives and books that make complicated ideas around things like politics and literature more accessible. Her favourite type of non-fiction book is the one that makes you interested in something or someone you&rsquo;d never thought you would be. She&rsquo;d also love to find cookery and food books too, particularly cuisines that are less visible in the book world, or budget cooking.</span></p><p fr-original-style="" style="color: var(--text); font-size: var(--font-size); box-sizing: border-box;"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px; box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-size: 16px;">She&rsquo;s not currently taking on YA, children&rsquo;s, fantasy or science fiction projects.</span></p><p style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;"><strong style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-weight: 700;">Sian would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 - 2 page synopsis and the first three chapters (or 5,000 words) of your manuscript in a single word document.&nbsp;</strong></p><p id="isPasted" style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box; font-size: 16px; color: var(--text); font-family: sans-serif; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: left; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;">(<em style="box-sizing: border-box;" fr-original-style="box-sizing: border-box;">In addition to the paid sessions, Sian is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers.

LOOKING FOR: ADULT FICTION, NON-FICTION
Florence has been at A M Heath for five years and represents a range of commercial fiction and non-fiction. The authors she represents include Jaspreet Kaur, Salma El-Wardany, Rachel Thompson, Annie Lord, Angelica Malin and Phil Ellis. Their books range from the heart-breaking and profound to the inspirational, funny and wise, with almost everything in between. She’s keen to find non-fiction and fiction writers who speak to a millennial and younger audience, be that a journalist who is looking to expand an idea, a screenwriter who is looking to try their hand at fiction or perhaps an activist with a social media platform. 
She’s actively looking for writers who are under-represented in the publishing world, through non-traditional channels, as well as her submissions, and is interested in environmental and social issues. For fiction, she always loves comforting, funny and warm reads, as well as gripping page-turners. She’d love to see any of the above but her favourite thing is to escape with a story she can’t put down. If you think your book fits with that, then do send it to her. 
In fiction, books that have really left Florence wanting one more chapter include Marian Keyes’s character, Rachel, from Rachel’s Holiday that left Florence with a compassion for addiction that only the most skilled of writers can conjure. Florence finds Catherine Newman to be a genuis for making hospice care so funny in We All Want Impossible Things. Smart page turners such as Anatomy of a Scandal, Such a Fun Age and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow wowed Florence with clever, gripping prose and complicated, flawed characters she hadn't met before. She also loves older classics like the Cazalet Chronicles and Georgette Heyer’s Regency novels – comforting, funny and warm reads will always her cup of tea.
Florence does not wish to receive, YA, Fantasy or Sci-fi. 
Florence would like you to submit a covering letter, 1 page synopsis and the first 5,000 words of your manuscript in a single word document. 
(In addition to the paid sessions, Florence is kindly offering one free session for low income/under-represented writers. Please email agent121@iaminprint.co.uk to apply, outlining your case for this option which is offered at the discretion of I Am In Print). 
By booking you understand you need to conduct an internet connection test with I Am In Print prior to the event. You also agree to email your material in one document to reach I Am In Print by the stated submission deadline and note that I Am In Print take no responsibility for the advice received during your agent meeting.
The submission deadline is: Wednesday 30 October 2024
