Strong managers, who understand the need to deliver through their teams, are the key to exceptional results. As each manager builds a great team, so the organisation will begin to reap the rewards of an employer of choice culture.
The programme takes your managers from effective to inspirational. By understanding their personal impact and building a strong foundation of management practice, your manager community will deliver consistent and strong results through their people.
Each Inspirational Manager programme is designed with the HR/Leaders to suit specific business need. The foundation workshop is always the starting point, and is then followed by relevant one day workshops. Additional workshops to those mentioned here can be designed for the organisation.

Inspirational Manager Foundation Workshop
This 2.5 day process sets the tone for Inspirational Manager behaviours and attitude. It begins with a half day set up workshop that introduces the concepts of Inspirational Manager and explains the innovative IM 360 degree data gathering process that participants are about to embark on. Known as the ‘most effective 360’ many people have done, it engages the behaviours of exceptional management from the outset.
Participants then join a two day workshop that revolves around the foundation of Inspirational Manager – the beliefs, approach and behaviour that is so central to the high performance results they deliver.
One day modules
Working with the HR/Leadership team and the group themselves, GCC design a series of one day workshops that address specific business and learning needs. Possible workshops include:
Appraisal as a Motivational Tool
Appraisal is traditionally demand for both managers and direct reports. Inspirational Managers set out to make this a time of real encouragement, straight talking and productive action planning. Manager and report then work together as a team to deliver the required results.
This workshop will include a proven model for motivational appraisal and provide practice of the honest conversations that need to take place.

Effective Delegation
True management is delivering results through other people. Yet many managers accept the burden onto their own shoulders, rather than take on the task of delegation.
This workshop will focus on the real job of management and encourage participants to review their workload, identify those tasks that can best done by others, because of their skill or their potential and develop a plan of how to create the changes they need in their team. We will also include coaching practice – so vital to effective and productive delegation.
Holding Tough Conversations
The greatest reason for complacency and underperformance in business is the unwillingness of managers to hold the tough conversations. Fear of upsetting people or challenging performance leaves them taking on work themselves or accepting lower levels of output. Inspirational Managers see honesty as a sign of respect, because once people know the truth, they have the option to change.
This workshop defines what it takes to hold a courageous conversation, identifies specific conversations that participants need to hold and provides practice of being direct and straight forward.
Managing Top Talent
Managers feed the talent pipeline of any organisation – this is an important part of their role.
This workshop builds on the research into The Psychology of Success and provides participants with an understanding of what it takes to be successful, how to get the best out of people and how to embed the success behaviours into their team culture.
