Enabling Managers Programme at Mott Macdonald

Enabling Managers is our flagship development programme for new people managers. Delivered entirely virtually, we have developed an innovative and highly pragmatic learning solution which is focussed on your individual needs as a busy people manager.

The programme focusses on the three core strengths any people manager needs: listening skilfully, agreeing clear expectations and providing meaningful feedback. Unlike other, more traditional programmes, it does not teach any theoretical management models, which are often difficult to apply successfully on the job straight away. Instead, it immerses you in highly engaging scenarios, which build on each other and mirror the real life of a people manager at Mott MacDonald.

The Coach Approach to People Management

The Coach Approach to People Management programme, follows on from Enabling Managers, and is for experienced people managers who are already applying the core strengths of listening skilfully, agreeing clear expectations, and providing meaningful feedback.

It is designed to help people managers learn how to use an empowering coaching approach in many day-to-day conversations, to improve performance, productivity, motivation, wellbeing, and engagement; empowering direct reports to achieve more with less directive input.
