“It’s not often the industry has access to such focused courses, but this one, previously piloted in Melbourne, has been successfully tried and tested for the printing industry,” he said.
The course covers the new Three Dimensional Leadership System (5 leadership styles); management of self and leadership of others; effective communication; problem solving and decision making; time and stress management; project management, presentation skills and good governance; how to sell yourself and your team; motivation of self and others; managing difficult situations and handling conflict; team building fundamentals and business agility; keys to effective change management; benchmarking; and the world’s leading business trends.
“One of the skills shortages experienced by our industry in recent times has been in finding suitably qualified managers. The industry does well with its technical staff, but often business management is not high on the priority list,” Mr Walz said.
“It’s difficult and risky hiring new managers, but what we have been able to do is develop a course than can take good internal people with management capability and help turn them into confident, well trained management staff able to value-add to the business.
“This course is the way forward for companies to achieve the quality of management they need,” he said.
The course will be held from 15-17 November at Printing Industries Auburn office.
