These days, being a good leader or manager takes more than basic supervisory skills or the ability to administer business processes. You have to be strategic, agile, persuasive, flexible and ready for whatever complexities and uncertainties come your way. You have to make insightful decisions, engage team members to contribute to collective intelligence and transform challenges into opportunities. All this requires an in-depth understanding of interpersonal and organizational dynamics.

Improving Key People Management Skills to Lead Your Employees More Effectively is a program built around three key pillars:

  • Managerial skills rooted in tangible practices adapted to your specific circumstances
  • Pragmatic intelligence that you can draw on to move beyond formulaic solutions in order to unpack complex situations and develop realistic, actionable plans
  • The ability to engage collective intelligence, which is so vital to taking effective action in an ever-changing environment.

Master the art of leadership.

During this two-day program, you will learn how to navigate the challenges of the current landscape using an immersive and tailored approach. You will leave with tools that you can use to strengthen your management practices, analyze your organizational dynamics and motivate your teams to embrace creative, long-term solutions that are directly applicable to your business environment.

GOALS

  • Strengthen your management skills to rally your teams around shared objectives.
  • Refine your analytical thinking to become more perceptive and more effective in managing complex ecosystems.
  • Take action confidently and impactfully, even in times of uncertainty.
  • Mitigate conflicts and foster cooperation.
  • Reflect on your own performance so you can make adjustments and keep improving over time.

IS THIS FOR YOU?

  • Experienced or up-and-coming managers interested in acquiring the skills they need to deal with conflicts and complex situations
  • Leaders looking to improve how they steer through interpersonal, organizational and power dynamics

SPECIAL FEATURES

  • A hands-on, immersive approach, with case studies and focused conversations with other participants
  • Opportunities to try out various solutions to tackle real-world issues

Participants will receive a certificate of completion from Executive Education HEC Montréal.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Participants will receive a complimentary copy of the book Habiletés de direction.

Intervene in situations of authority

  • Know oneself in relation to others
  • Lead individuals who oppose directly or indirectly
  • See clearly into relational dynamics
  • Assume responsibility for leading people
  • Communicate effectively

Intervene in organizational situations

  • Know how to observe, listen, analyze, and engage
  • Understand and navigate interpersonal dynamics within the organization
  • Decode complex situations in all their dimensions (relational, political, organizational)
  • Develop sensitivity to the particularities of each context
  • Identify sources and dynamics of power

Intervene in situations of uncertainty

  • Explore and distinguish today's issues
  • Recognize, accept, and value differences (in perspectives, values, areas of interest, objectives)
  • Integrate this plurality in light of the task requirements and challenges to be met
  • Establish conditions conducive to collective action

TRAINING APPROACH

The approach is highly practical, featuring real-life management scenarios. This seminar gives you the opportunity to collaboratively analyze concrete challenges faced by leaders and co-develop action plans to address them effectively.

Rather than focusing on techniques or universal solutions, the goal is to cultivate strategic behaviours that drive real impact. Grounded in the experience of seasoned executives, these principles will help you navigate current challenges and anticipate future ones.
