KBCI was looking for direction on how best to handle different members of the team so the leadership model was very useful. I also thought that situational leadership was very informative as I wasn’t aware of the different styles. Some of the things I picked up today would not be picked up in my day to day work environment. KBC Bank
I’m not normally a fan of role-plays, but in this situation they worked really well, particularly as you could use your own examples and gain the perspective of others.
Office of the Director of Public ProsecutionsHaving a questionnaire in advance of the course ensured the course was relevant and covered what was needed. I’m not normally a fan of role-plays, but in this situation they worked really well, particularly as you could use your own examples and gain the perspective of others. It was also useful to evaluate other people’s role-plays, and made you consider what you might do better or less well. The course was well structured but flexible enough to meet the needs of the participants – the advance questionnaire showed commitment to making the course relevant. A very enjoyable, thorough and realistic course. Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions
This course gave a good overview on different styles, and role-playing re-enforced the learning.
