Navigating the different areas of management development
Management development encompasses more than simply focusing on the success or performance of managers who have already been in the business for a period of time. We place importance on new and aspiring managers just as much as senior managers with plenty of experience under their belts.
Often individuals are promoted into leadership positions without the understanding or knowledge of what it means to be a leader. We cover the fundamentals of leadership and what the purpose is of a leader with the aim to support individuals who wish to progress into roles that involve leading people and want to increase confidence, knowledge and skills in how to effectively manage people.
At LTT we believe that building the right manager mindset from the start ensures you are building from the ground up good managers who have the right skills, confidence and will to engage and motivate others in the business.
Through tailored diagnostics and analysis, impactful delivery, and engaging with our senior leadership teams to build meaningful programmes, they have been strategic partners in the delivery of highly effective learning strategies.

We would highly recommend Let’s Talk Talent to any organisation wanting to support and progress their management and leadership community.
Management vs Leadership
It’s clear the world of work has permanently shifted and the old Parent-Child, top-down approach is out. We believe Leadership needs to adopt the kind of agile servant leader mentality that will give them the flexibility to fulfill their people’s needs, rather than the other way around.
Easier said than done right! We’ve argued that you can’t train a leader, but you can train a great manager.
Managers should be one of your main assets when it comes to creating a positive, psychologically safe internal culture.
Nurturing Managers
Whilst we believe that leadership is more of an innate quality, it doesn’t mean that your high potential candidates cannot be developed.
Leadership goes much further than daily management of resources, projects, or processes, and not all team leaders will show the innate traits and emotional intelligence (EQ) required to support, motivate, and energise their staff.
So, how can organisations ensure they have the right people in place, and retain them into the business during this difficult post-pandemic period? At LTT, we believe in a two-pronged approach that includes both a succession planning and a learning and development (L&D) strategy.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have partnered with Let’s Talk Talent to support the development of our management and leadership provision across King’s College London. It was evident from the start they truly understood the complexity of operating in the higher education sector and have been generous and effective in sharing their expertise.

It focuses on training, coaching, mentoring, and providing resources to help managers excel in their roles and contribute to the company’s success.
Management Development is crucial because effective leaders are the backbone of a thriving organisation. It leads to better decision making, more engaged employees, and increased innovation. A robust management team ensures the company can adapt to change, stay competitive, and create a positive workplace culture.
