The Apprentice: Leadership and Management

Introduction

Business owners know that the performance of their managers can make all the difference between success and failure. But managing variables, projects and people in a constantly-changing environment is a difficult skill to master.

The Apprentice - Leadership and Management can help managers and business owners develop the skills needed to become organised and effective managers, as well as influential leaders. Based on the successful TV show, the course uses clips to showcase examples of success - and failure - featured in the programme.

Who is the course for?

The course is ideal for anyone with management or leadership responsibilities in a small or medium-sized business in any sector. It is particularly appropriate for managers at all levels, team leaders, or business owners.

There are no formal entry requirements for the course, though some experience of management would allow you to build on your existing skills and knowledge.

There are two other titles in the series - The Apprentice - Selling, Pitching and Presenting and The Apprentice - Negotiating to Win. You can also buy all three DVDs together and save 20% on the separate selling price.

When you have completed this course, you will understand how to:

• manage projects and operational tasks
• organise yourself and others, and delegate appropriately

• use different management styles as required

Course features

The course comes on a DVD-ROM. The way the course is structured means you can work at a pace to suit you, getting an overview in some areas, or going deeper when you want to learn more.

Key concepts are presented through text, audio and video. Clips from the TV show illustrate the use of key leadership and management skills, as well as pitfalls that should be avoided.

You can try a number of interactive 'business challenges', presented by Alan Sugar's senior aide on the TV show, Nick Hewer, to apply what you've learned and check your progress.

The course also includes a number of printable resources including a course summary, recommended reading, a quiz and pointers to develop your skills.

Please note: This DVD-ROM contains footage from the TV programme and therefore may include language that some people may find offensive.
