Leadership and Management
This programme is aimed at people leading SME businesses through a period of change.
From our work with SME businesses over the past 16 years, Dorset Business Mentors understand the challenges facing smaller businesses as the skills required for growth diverge from the skills once required to initiate the business. Growing businesses present many opportunities for us to stretch ourselves and others. They need a firm grip on business planning, sales and marketing, resources, and management controls if they are to succeed. And a clear vision and effective management style can be all the difference between success and failure.
The syllabus will depend on the specific needs of the group. However, the 'Leadership and Management Peer Network' programme is for you if you are looking to:
Grow your business
Develop leadership and managerial skills
Gain support and commitment from associates, business partners and other stakeholders
Understand the importance of structured business planning
Appreciate your key resources
Implement management controls
Understand what your balance sheet is telling you
