Course Overview
Policy on confident personal decision-making is judged by how it is applied in the difficult cases, not the easy ones. People decide what this part of people management and development really means by watching who gets promoted. Participants develop a defensible line of reasoning for the choices they make about the wider people management and development agenda. Participants come from operational and oversight roles, and both perspectives on confident personal decision-making are used deliberately. A common pattern is strong design of the people management and development discipline paired with weak follow-through. The programme takes participants through this strand of people management and development end to end, from framing the problem to closing it out. The programme uses small-group work so that each participant's treatment of confident personal decision-making is examined, not just described. Practitioner evidence points the same way: the wider people management and development agenda improves fastest where responsibility for it is named and owned. The programme closes with an action plan for this strand of people management and development that each participant writes for their own organisation.
