Interested in Management Virtual Training Activities

This week I want to start a project designing some virtual training activities for people interested in management. Think about people in an organisation who are not in any management role but they want to learn a bit more about management.

It’s those types of people that these training activities are for. I aim to design and develop a number of training activities that can be combined to create a whole course titled, ‘Interested in Management.’

The training activities can also be used individually to deliver bite-sized sessions or amended and combined in any way you choose.

Here are the titles of the activities I will be developing:

  • What is management?
  • What do managers do?
  • What about leadership?
  • Management vs. Leadership
  • Approaches to management
  • What skills do I need?
  • Ideas for developing your management skills

In the next post, I will write the first training activity which is, what is management?
