FULLY BOOKED - Team Leaders within a continuous improvement environment will be required to establish and maintain working relationships whilst challenging fixed ideas and deal with disagreements in an amicable and constructive way. The Team Leader is pivotal to motivate, mobilise and help build the team. Problem solving is a key role of a manager and leader. Sometimes people react to problems before they fully understand all the possible factors. Regardless of the nature of the problem you need a good process to use when approaching a problem to resolve it effectively and quickly. “The only constant is change”. For management this presents an exciting challenge to avoid continuous disruption and confusion. To be effective as change agents and implementers managers need to understand how organisations change and why people react in certain ways. Managers require the skills, techniques and awareness to operate effectively in times of change.
