Management Development

Many management development programmes are centred on academic theory delivered in a classroom environment. Reivers can support management to take the academic theories learned and put them into practice within a safe experiential environment using Reivers’ innovative experiential tasks.

Throw in expert coaching and facilitation and strong links can be made between the theory, the practice and the real-life work environment.

If your management have been on theoretical courses and are struggling to put the theory into practice then contact us on 01434 240245 to find out how we can support them to put this learned theory into practice within the ‘real’ world.

In addition to our specifically ‘tailored’ management development courses we have four ‘off the shelf’ courses which can also be adapted to your needs.



First Steps Management™

Whereas most traditional management development courses for new managers concentrate on procedures and policies before addressing team and people leadership skills, First-Steps™ is devoted to ensuring that managers are quickly in a position to effectively lead their teams and people from the very earliest stages of their managerial career.

The course concentrates on enabling the managers to ‘contract’ their role effectively, build rapport with their employees, exhibit leadership from the onset, and coach their teams and employees productively.


Coaching for Managers

Coaching is now regarded as an essential skill used by managers and supervisors in order that they develop and empower their teams and direct reports. The result of effective and appropriate coaching is improved performance and results.

However, there is great confusion about what exactly coaching is, and how and where you would use the skill.

This two day course will enlighten the manager or supervisor as to what coaching is; why they should use the skill; where and when they should use it; and how exactly they can develop their coaching skills to get great results from people and teams.

The course is highly interactive featuring a mixture of group work and discussion, coach presentation and demonstration together with coaching practice using real-life case studies.


Aspires – Moving Field Visits from Assessment to Motivation & Development.

Field visits are an essential part of any sales or technical manager’s overall role and as such managers can spend between 50 and 80% of their time visiting their sales or technical executives. With this amount of time spent with executives it is vital that this time is spent productively.

ASPIRES™ is a two day course which will enable managers to structure their field visits in such a way that both the manager and the executive will find them motivational and productive. The course will also start to build the necessary ‘people development’ skills that are essential to ensuring the ASPIRES™ process delivers.


Building the Effective Team through Effective Leadership.

More and more workplaces are becoming team based and as such managers and supervisors must possess the necessary team leadership skills in order to lead their teams effectively. The challenge is that very few managers, supervisors and team leaders are trained and coached in effective team leadership skills.

Using Reivers innovative experiential tasks, we can support managers, supervisors and team leaders to actually experience what it is like to lead a team on a project or task. Again, we can put the academic theory into practice and reality. Team leadership courses are usually of two days duration.
