Management team’s communications skills are key

Time to develop your management team’s communication skills?

The success of an organisation depends on a well-functioning management team. During the spring, we have worked with several management teams who wanted to sharpen their presentations for this year’s staff event.

We have worked with a two-step model: first an initial digital meeting when we give a crash course in presentation techniques and then a training day (or half-day) when the members of the management team draw their prepared presentations, get feedback – and get the chance to make a new version based on the feedback they received.

Having the management team work together on skills training in this way has many advantages. The obvious one is that it improves the staff event, but it also gives the management team members a chance to get to know each other a little better, both personally and professionally.
