This course highlighted the importance of first line management, the skills and behaviours that are crucial in leading a team in this modern era. I encourage anyone who hasn’t done a course like this to enrol, even if you have many years’ experience in team leading. In addition to the practical aspects, it also helped me learn much about myself as a leader and how this is an integral part of managing my team successfully.
