LICENCE TO LEAD 

Blended Learning Management Training 

Management staff play a major role in your company’s success. They are responsible for the professional development of each member of staff, are meant to set a good example and help to shape the company’s corporate culture by their own managerial conduct. 

The PROAKTIV® Package for lasting results Training 

Licence to Lead is a three-part training programme which successfully combines classroom instruction 

with practical tasks completed at work and interactive web-based training. 

With our blended learning concept you learn how to lead. Practically relevant and well-grounded. The three-part training programme (classroom sessions, web-based training and on-the-job transfer task) in- creases your skills as a manager considerably and allows you to deal confidently with all kinds of mana- gerial situations and conversations. 

Active on-site training 

In four two-day modules which build upon one another we practice and acquire the fundamentals and fac- tors of success of an objective- and employee-oriented managerial style. 

Interactive web-based training 

In between the classroom modules the subject matter discussed during the classroom instruction is sup- plemented and covered in more detail in carefully matched knowledge modules during the web-based training. This phase of the training programme is supervised by an experienced PROAKTIV® tutor. 

On-the-job transfer tasks 

The practical tasks that the participants are required to do are arranged together with their supervisors and then carried out at work during the entire training programme. This ensures that the positive changes in their attitude and behaviour experienced in the training programme will be felt at work as well.

Preparation 

Six weeks before the training course begins participants receive documentation containg preparatory ex- cercises. By answering specific questions about their current professional situation as well as their goals and expectations the participants are optimally prepared for the training course. This also ensures that the time in the classroom is used most effectively. 

At the end of each classroom module participants receive a preparatory exercise for the next classroom module.
