The ‘Stepping into Management’ series of workshops that began in April last year, is now coming to a close. In this final Workshop, we look at the impact an individual manager has on the team around them, and the core principles of good management needed to be successful in the role. We also use this event to recap on the key messages from the previously attended workshops.
