AFP unveils new people management skills course
The Association of Fleet Professionals (AFP) has introduced a new one-day course focused on people management.
Launched in February as part of the AFP Fleet Academy programme, ‘Accelerate – Navigating People Challenges’ will consist of two modules: Develop Knowledge will focuses on increasing self-awareness as a leader while Activate Knowledge provides practical tools to manage a team more effectively.
Ronnie Gillman, AFP training manager, said: “Fleet managers frequently tell us that managing teams can be a challenge. It consumes much of their time and they find issues that arise often difficult to resolve.
“This course helps develop their skills to create better outcomes. Whether managing people is a new responsibility or something they’ve been doing for many years, it explores a range of different tools and approaches in a safe and supportive environment.
“Together, we will discuss how to find balance in the workplace by offering the level of support employees should expect from their manager while still ensuring people are performing effectively in the role for which they were employed.”
Gillman continued: “We provide a framework that equips delegates to address almost any problem. Every situation is unique and we can work through any scenarios delegates are currently facing, developing knowledge and skills together.”
Accelerate – Navigating People Challenges will be initially be held in Coventry on 25 February and 16 June.
