Description
Effective leadership and management are critical to the success of any insurance business — not just at the executive level, but across every team and function. In an industry shaped by regulation, customer trust, evolving risk, and rapid change, people managers play a vital role in aligning day-to-day operations with wider business goals.
This course is designed to support individuals stepping into leadership roles or seeking to strengthen their management capability. It provides practical, accessible tools to help participants lead with clarity, confidence, and credibility, whether managing a small team or leading a function.
Strong managers create focused teams, handle challenges constructively, and foster positive workplace cultures that support performance and retention. Without the right skills, even the most capable technical experts can struggle to manage people effectively. That’s why building core leadership capability is one of the most valuable investments an insurance organisation can make in its people.
This highly practical workshop blends proven models with real-world insight, giving participants the knowledge and tools they need to support their teams, communicate purposefully, manage performance, and lead with integrity in a regulated, fast-paced environment.
