| Programme IntroductionMany individuals are promoted to management positions based on their technical performance, but they may have little or no people management experience. In this situation the initial experience of people management can be highly stressful because the skills required for performance – getting things done through others – are very different from doing things yourself. The Professional Certificate in People Management in International Financial Services equips managers to better understand human behaviour, improve peoplemanagement skills and communication. It also develops an understanding of organisational culture, building and leading effective teams, coaching and motivating others, managing performance and managing change.
Who should Attend?This qualification is aimed at those in team leadership or people-management roles in International Financial Services, or those aspiring to such roles.
