An Introduction to Management Development (28 Nov 2025)

This 45-minute webinar introduces Maximum Performance’s management development pathway and our two targeted programmes:

1. So, You Want to Manage People? – for those thinking about taking their first step into management.
2. Management Development Programme (MDP) – a deeper, ILM-recognised journey into sustained management capability.

Together, these programmes form a complete development pathway — from aspiring to accomplished manager.

This interactive session will show you how the two programmes fit together, what each delivers, and how they can be tailored for your organisation. You’ll gain a real sense of the energy, structure and practicality that make these programmes so effective — and why they continue to attract such strong feedback from participants.

This webinar is hosted by our lead trainer, Cyrus Cooper.

Date: 28 November 2025 at 10am
