IT professionals are all too often promoted to management level without adequate managerial or leadership training. Yet being a top IT leader takes a unique set of skills... not only the technical know-how but also the leadership and communications skills to bridge the gap between the IT and business worlds.
This innovative and highly successful program will equip you with the skills and hands-on experience to become an inspiring IT leader.
Our unique understanding of IT
At Teamworking International we also have a background in IT. So we truly understand the concerns and common skill deficits of new IT managers. That’s why we’ve put together this unique program, specifically designed to give new IT managers the support they need to develop into highly successful leaders.Effective Project Leadership Skills: rather than simply focusing on the technical aspect of a project, we’ll show you how to look at the big picture and successfully provide a link between the business and IT.
Inspiring Your Team: inspire, motivate and get the best out of technical staff, so you can bring a project in on budget and on time, whatever the circumstances.
Creative Problem Solving: grasp a whole new way of thinking that will allow you to produce innovative solutions to everyday problems, even when faced with budget cuts and limited manpower.
Communications Skills: you’ll develop highly effective communication skills that allow you to take a more holistic approach to getting your message heard. Get buy-in from your business colleagues, clients and users by understanding that people are influenced by emotions and feelings, not just technical merits. You’ll learn to speak language that users can understand and develop these skills throughout your entire workforce.
Negotiation Skills: IT managers and CIOs are continually faced with shrinking budgets in an ever more competitive environment. As an IT leader you need to be able to successfully negotiate with both internal and external stakeholders to achieve a profitable outcome for each and every deal you make – from external contracts for outsourcing to internal procurement of resources
