This subject provides a unique workshop-based approach for students to understand themselves and develop their managerial skills and competencies. Learning is experiential and progresses in the following way. Students first participate in a two-day seminar which provides theoretical frameworks and exercises for gaining feedback and insights into their patterns of managerial behaviour. Together with a first assignment, this enables them to focus on particular areas where they would choose to develop increased effectiveness.

A three-day workshop then provides opportunities for students to explore their managerial patterns and to experiment with new and more effective ways of improving their managerial competencies in the areas they have defined. A second post-workshop assignment builds upon and consolidates transfer of learning to work and other situations.

The approach used in this subject is intensive and its teaching methodology is very different from that employed in the management skills subject. Students should choose either subject depending on the teaching approach they prefer.
