This course is aimed at delegates who are in their first management role.

If you are someone who is about to be promoted to a position where you will have line management responsibility then Forefront will also be the right course for you. However you really need to have the ability to work with authority in a team in order to derive major benefits. Your organisation should therefore be willing to enable you to run a project as a leader during the course.
Five reasons for using this course Do you have frontline managers who:
Were promoted from within because they are technically good?
Are new to the role and / or inexperienced at managing others?
Need improved confidence in managing people and problems?
Find it difficult to balance the pressures of delivering for management while remaining part of the team?
Could make a significant contribution to the company’s profits if they were able to improve the performance of themselves and their teams?
If the answer is “yes” to any of the above questions you will find that the Forefront course provides solutions to these and many other issues that stretch today’s team leader. Forefront is a unique team leader course, which is an investment in your people to deliver increased competence and financial returns for your business. This course can also be taken with ILM Level 3 Accreditation.

Do you want to learn how to maximise contribution and maximise return on your business? Carl Bates, global entrepreneur, speaker, author, mentor and director will present a one-off half-day workshop while visiting the UK for a week only!
This workshop is an outcomes-focused half-day event that aims to equip the attendee with a deeper understanding of the Contribution Compass and its eight natural energy profiles. It also provides the attendee with an interactive experience and practical insight into how to apply this tool to deepen team engagement, build effective teams and improve communication and organisational learning. In this way contribution can directly drive business performance. Executives, entrepreneurs and team members alike will learn how to apply this tool to maximise contribution – individually and collectively.
Who Should Attend
This workshop is ideal for business leaders and entrepreneurs who recognise the importance of an engagement team of people doing what they love and what they do best. It is also highly valuable for anyone who would like to learn more about working with their own profile while maximising their engagement with the other profiles. Entrepreneurs, executives, managers and directors will especially benefit through the emphasis on applying this tool in a practical manner and unlocking the full value of the natural energy profiles.
About the Company
The Sirdar Contribution Compass is a profiling tool that enables people to understand both their area of maximum contribution to a team, company or organisation and how they can leverage the most value for themselves and for their organisation. When there is a balance of natural energy around a board room table, in an executive or management group, or across the operational or frontline team, there is a much more effective flow, and in turn results, for the directors, team members and the business as a whole. A company that is focused on maximising its growth opportunities should commit to consciously understanding and bringing into balance the natural energies of its board, team and key functions.
About the presenter
Carl Bates is a global entrepreneur, speaker, author, mentor and director. Currently based in South Africa, he is a dynamic entrepreneur from New Zealand who guides small to medium businesses to achieve Extreme Business Success.
