Description
Senior leaders and managers often have to present a concerted front in dealing with complex negotiation situations. Working as a team instead of as an individual involves different interpersonal skills. The other parties to such negotiations unconsciously observe body language and team dynamics which can help them look for opportunities to divide and conquer.
This highly participative and practical programme gives senior leaders and managers tools, confidence-building and personal behaviour management skills. We work with senior leaders and managers on current issues and build the programme to meet individual and team needs and issues. There will be ample time to practice what is being learned throughout the programme.
