Reflective Line Management training is designed for any new or existing line managers. It offers a holistic approach and an exploration of good practice.
This course comprises two parts. Both will be delivered on the same day.
Part 1 (3 hours) Part 1 is for all line-managers, regardless of the lay employee's role and will enable participants to:
- identify the key skills/qualities needed to manage lay employees.
- fulfil their role and responsibilities in managing lay employees in the Methodist Church
- clarify the different functions of line management
- understand their role in managing the employment cycle
In addition, Part 2 (3 hours) is for all those managing a lay-employee with "significant pastoral contact with individuals and families", for instance, children and families workers, youth workers and local lay pastors and pioneers / NPNP workers. It will enable participants to:
- understand their own operational preferences
- have confidence in making interventions
- enable lay employees to reflect on their practice
- support lay employee development and vocation
If you have completed the training in the last 5 years, please attend Part 2 which has new material focussing on enabling reflection and building confidence in making interventions, and of course you are welcome to attend Part 1 as a refresher.
