Who will the course benefit?
The Manager of the Future’s skills based training with enhanced attitude principles enables your managers to work with live issues and business priorities.

According to the Chartered Institute of Personnel & Development (CIPD), many organisations put their performance at risk because their management practice is misaligned with business priorities. Indeed 86% of senior managers from the sample of 400 UK organisations viewed ‘integrating management development with the implementation of organisational goals’ as a key priority.

The CIPD goes on to suggest three main routes to improved management and business alignment:

1. Making the case for developing managers;
   
2. Connecting business strategies, organisation and management development;
   
3. Correct design, implementation, management and evaluation of learning strategies.

As such, the selection of a management course and the subsequent application of the resulting knowledge both provide the perfect catalyst for re-assessing your business management goals.

Course objectives

Professor Robert Kegan, lecturer at Harvard University’s Life Long Learning Department sees that while training increases the fund of knowledge, education leads to a new view on work.
The Manager of the Future will both train (i.e. skills within the modules) and educate (develop the level of ownership- ‘the self-employed attitude’ within organisations). This is learning and development.

Once ‘The Manager of the Future’ is completed, John Seymour Associates will have successfully introduced the key skills of Inspirational Leadership and Influencing Skills as well as the ability to Continuously Manage Change.
This will result in:

• Less managerial inefficiency / more effective communication
  
• Less misinterpretations / improved relations between staff
  
• Less frustration / a more solutions focused attitude
  
• Less time wasting / more definite results
  

Less ‘ego-centric’ actions / more business oriented ownership
The manager of the future is enabled to take ownership and responsibility for what happens internally and externally. This is the Manager of the Future.
