Team Leader Training Practical skills for new & first-line managers

TEAM LEADER TRAINING

Turn your best doers into your best team leaders

Most new team leaders are promoted for being great at their job — then handed a team with no real training on how to lead one. That's when small problems become big ones: missed deadlines, avoided conversations, disengaged staff and stressed-out managers.

Barton Training's team leader programmes give new and first-line managers the practical toolkit they need — communication, delegation, feedback, performance and motivation — delivered in plain English, in Newport, South Wales and across the UK. Programmes can be delivered as accredited ILM qualifications or as bespoke in-house training.
