The North London Social Work Teaching Partnership is dedicated to unlocking the knowledge and capability of social workers at every stage of their career. We continue this dedication with the exciting introduction of our Managers’ Forum which will enable participants to gather in a confidential and supportive space.

The forums will allow participants to obtain perspectives on the management challenges facing them and their colleagues, share best practice and work together to find solutions. The forums also give participants an opportunity to maintain sustainable working conditions for the teams they lead, provide high-quality services and network with colleagues across other partner agencies.

This forum will cover the requirement for managers to be flexible in their leadership style depending on the needs of their staff. It will cover such styles of being directive, leading, coaching, and delegating and how to decide what is the most appropriate given the circumstances. There will be a particular emphasis on ways to retain key employees.

Facilitators: Danny Kalman FCIPD and Nikki Bradley MBE

The book is called ‘Make Your People Before You make Your Product’ —using Talent Management to achieve competitive advantage in Global Organisations. His second book on inclusive talent management, co-authored with Steve Frost, was published by Kogan Page in July 2016.
