Leading and managing a team well is crucial in maximising the potential of a modern law firm.  Good team working leads to improved motivation, and delivers increased efficiency, and profitability. Some professionals do not embrace the benefits of team working easily, and careful attention must be paid to overcoming the problems this may create. This course will deliver the practical tools team leaders need to really make their teams work well, and will address the ‘live’ issues facing them within their team.

This course will help you to resolve these typical business problems:

• Difficulties in encouraging collaboration and team working.
• Not maximising the development and productivity potential of the team and individuals within it.
• Low morale/motivation within the team.
• Communication problems within the team (and the wider firm).
• Specific performance problems within the team.
• A lack of strategic planning for the growth and development of the team.
• A dilemma about how you as a team leader should spend your time.

This course on improving team leader performance will give you a clear view of your role as a team leader and how to plan, manage and develop the people for whom you have responsibility. It will help you to gain an improved insight in to how teams in law firms work, and what you can do to add value, through the development of a range of practical leadership and management skills.

By the end of this course you will be able to:

• Create a plan for the development of the group including specific objectives for yourself.
• Create a relevant and practical communication infrastructure for your team, and run action oriented team meetings.
• Delegate more effectively, increasing profitability and creating time.
• Manage development and performance in a practical way and deal with ‘difficult’ people issues.
• Manage your team in a way which increases motivation and promotes collaboration among team members.
