How to manage and coach your team

About this event

How to manage and coach your team - for vets & nurses

In this session, we’ll look at both the theory and practice of becoming a capable and confident leader and coach. Managing a team can be challenging, and it doesn’t always come naturally to clinicians. However, with the right support and skills all vets and nurses can become proficient managers and coaches, helping your colleagues, mentees and direct reports to develop and fulfil their potential.

We will  explore the bigger picture of process and people:

  • Understanding what motivates people in your team
  • Exploring how management and leadership differ (and crucially, why this is important)
  • Understanding differing responses to change

Then we’ll build on the theory to learn how you can give meaningful feedback – a key foundation of effective management and coaching. Using a range of simple models and tools, we will help you to structure sessions with your team effectively.

After this session you will have both practical skills and improved confidence, enabling you  to become a better manager and coach.
