Elevate Your Impact: Team Leadership and Management Training Course in Johannesburg, South Africa
Classroom training in Johannesburg · next cohort Nov 2, 2026 · from USD 3,400
Most people are promoted for technical skill and then judged on how well their team performs, often with no preparation for the change. Weak delegation, unclear priorities and avoided conversations quietly drain output and morale. Over five days, participants build a practical leadership toolkit: situational leadership, setting SMART goals and expectations, delegation, one-to-one coaching with the GROW model, giving feedback, and running meetings that actually decide something. Further sessions cover team motivation, team roles, Tuckman's stages of team development, and handling conflict and underperformance fairly.
The programme is written for new and and experienced supervisors, team leaders, section heads and managers in government, NGOs, banks and private companies, including those leading remote or mixed teams. Delivery is by classroom sessions in major cities, online, or in-house for one organisation, and each participant receives a CPD-accredited certificate. Afterwards you can set a team's priorities, hold a structured coaching conversation, delegate without losing accountability and write a 90-day plan for strengthening your team.

About this course
A team's results depend far more on the person leading it than on any system or budget. When priorities are vague, feedback is rare and tension is left to fester, capable people disengage and deadlines slip. Organisations that invest in their managers see clearer ownership, fewer escalations and stronger retention of the staff they have trained.
Elevate Your Impact: Team Leadership and Management Training Course moves from self-awareness to team results. Participants start by examining their own leadership style and how it lands with others, then learn to match their approach to the readiness of each person. The middle of the programme covers planning the work of a team, delegating and following up, coaching conversations and structured feedback. The closing sessions turn to team dynamics, motivation, performance problems, conflict and the leader's role in change.
Learning is built on participants' own teams. Each person brings a real situation, such as a stalled project or a difficult colleague, and works on it through role plays, peer review and practical templates. By the end, every participant has a personal leadership development plan and a 90-day action plan to use on return to work.
Training Objectives
By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Evaluate their own leadership style and adapt it using situational leadership principles.
- Set clear goals, roles and performance expectations for individuals and teams.
- Delegate tasks with the right authority, support and follow-up.
- Conduct coaching conversations using the GROW model.
- Give balanced, specific feedback and handle underperformance fairly.
- Plan and chair meetings that produce decisions and owners.
