If you are not actively developing your team, you are just supervising tasks, not truly managing.
Why this module
Most managers are decent at chasing KPIs but fail at developing people. The result? Teams hit short-term numbers but never grow the capacity to take on bigger challenges.
You will learn how to identify real skill gaps, build Individual Development Plans (IDPs) that actually get followed, and use development as a tool to retain and motivate your best people.

A word from our students
The key takeaway I gained from the MDP was how to effectively manage team interactions and create Individual Development Plans. Simon provided excellent explanations with clear examples and practical strategies for real management situations.
The program was interactive and immediately applicable to my role as a manager.

I now have high confidence in applying these management frameworks to my daily work.
Kritsaree, Program Manager
The Manager Development Program was the refresher I needed for managing a team. Instead of vague theory, I learned how to set clear goals, give direct feedback, and coach with confidence. The program focuses on what really matters in team management and provides practical implementation guidelines I could apply right away.
