This 4 day management programme (in two 2-day blocks). Within the programme delegates begin to understand their preferred style of behaviour and working and the implications that these have on their effectiveness as managers and leaders. We use a series of inventories to uncover this information. With the new insight the inventories give them, delegates begin to build on their strengths, address their development areas, and agree a relevant list of learning and action points.
We cover in detail the theories of time management, delegation, motivation skills, goal setting, managing difficult people and general management issues that face the busy publishing manager.
Whether commissioning a new work, selling rights or sponsorship, or agreeing prices and deadlines with suppliers, publishing staff need excellent negotiating skills.

This course looks at the communication, negotiation and objective setting skills and techniques that can help publishing staff to get what they need, when they need it, from authors and editors.
Publishing companies are providing more training using internal resources. This publishing focussed course is for any publishing staff who has to train others. It covers learning styles of individuals, course preparation, format, timetabling and delivery, and aims to ensure that future training courses delivered by participants provide a challenging and motivating environment.
Publishing staff often have to handle difficult meetings - with authors, editors, suppliers, or advertisers who want something they cannot have, or who do not understand what the company needs from them. This course introduces delegates to the skills and behaviours they might use to handle these difficult situations with maximum effect, ensuring successful outcomes with minimal discomfort.
Problems and conflict within publishing and information processes often lead back to poor communication. This course allows delegates to examine the strengths and differences which exist between them and their colleagues, and how to communicate to their best advantage.
