Line Management In-House Training
Build your team’s confidence and their ability to manage, encourage and inspire others in a corporate environment
“Training was excellent. The trainers were a great balance of both theatre and psychological training. The normally staid ‘role play’ sections of the courses were really energised and allowed the group to explore different aspects and challenges.”
Fully Customised Line Management Training
Line management can mean a lot of things to a lot of people.
Whatever the challenges your line managers face, tailored training can help to address the specifics that they find tricky.
Often it’s around delegation, giving difficult feedback and keeping teams motivated.
Every organisation has its own challenges – to which we can define and deliver a customised solution.
Tailored Line Management Training
Line Management as part of an in house Training Programme is designed to give participants the confidence to manage others quickly.
We start from the premise that things are bound to go wrong.
The very process of management assumes the need for control of a series of processes that left to their own devices would inevitably go wrong.
Generally, when things go wrong it’s the people who are most difficult to deal with not the processes they are engaged in.
Tailored to Your Issues
We know that the line manager role will be quite different in different companies and we are adept at creating bespoke training for line managers to fit a company’s needs.
Line Management Training is for:
- Basic Skills for First Time Line Managers
- Developing Middle and Senior Managers
- Newly Promoted Managers
- Refreshing Skills for Long-Serving Managers
In House Tailored Programme

We offer key techniques to deal with
- Delegation
- Motivating
- Performance Management
- Supporting Team Members
- Giving Feedback
- Decision Making
- Managing Conflict

First, we will focus on what has changed in moving from managed to manager.
Then we’ll have a look at what qualities or resources are needed to step up to the line management role.
Our initial work will be focused on staying in charge of the situation, recovering from getting wrong-footed, moving things forward, and knowing you have something else to try.
Line management training looks at all the things the line manager is responsible for including all the extra things that come with the role but aren’t necessarily in the job description.
Training for Line Management
You have to find your own style as a manager.
There is no right way, there is only what you can make work for you.
The good news is that if you concentrate on the things you already have going for you, you will get some quick wins and early results that will reinforce your confidence as a new line manager.
One of the biggest hurdles is that everybody expects you to know stuff and have the answers.
Important things like Key Performance Indicators, Health and Safety, Quality, and Environmental Responsibility.
It’s all these extra things that can make a promotion to line management seem more of a curse than a blessing.
You can’t learn them all in two days; some of them you may never fully understand, but as a manager, you need to “know someone who does“.
Getting Perspective
We will help you get line management into perspective.
Creating trust is a key skill for anyone managing others.
Many managers expect their team members to trust them without making any of the effort needed to make people feel safe.
We will look at the sort of language people can use when delivering tough messages.
And introducing a new idea you are not sure the other person is going to like.
Asking someone to do something for you or even just saying no.
How do you help people cope with change?
None of us like it and we all tend to avoid or resist it, so we’ll include some work on making change more palatable.
You will need to focus on getting things done.
