The Manager Role - Think Productive Australia

Understanding your personal style as a manager.

One of the hardest transitions is to move from “doing the doing” to “managing the doing”.

We all have our own styles of management and we need to learn how to subtly adapt our styles depending on the situation.

This masterclass will enable you to reflect on how you currently carry out the manager role, the benefits and limitations of your style and whether there are any quick wins to propel you to further success.

You’ll learn the differences between leadership and management, how to identify when you need to switch between these two “hats” and how to do so successfully.

You will also have the opportunity to self-reflect on how you balance the various aspects of your manager role, and you’ll come away with a clear list of actions to help you become a more effective manager.

Don't just take our word for it...

Life changing is how I would describe Think productive methods.

Sonia Sparkes (Symantec Global Consulting Operations)

I admit I was sceptical as I hear ‘productivity’ and imagine a focus on squeezing the most out of yourself to the detriment of your own wellbeing, so it was a really pleasant surprise to find that wellbeing, care and kindness were woven throughout. The whole team seemed really engaged and it was good to feel like we were ‘together’ in something when we can’t be together physically.

Best development session I’ve ever had. Great to focus on myself and how I become better.

One of the best online sessions during this whole lockdown year.

The 2 hours flew past and it was so convenient and interactive and ran extremely smoothly.

I have now changed the pressure I put on myself to get everything done

Workshop Participant

The webinar was just mind blowing. It made me appreciate how important self-care is, and that doing 'more' can actually slow down productivity. I'm definitely going to put in place all of the nine steps and tweak and change based on my experiences.
