Over a hundred managers from the services and facilities management group EMCOR are to be drilled in the sort of leadership skills that have provided the back bone for the British army, as they are sent for training at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst (RMAS), in Surrey.
During the two day programme course, so called First Line managers will be taught “through experience “within the 2,600 acre training facility of the Academy, and involves working outdoors over rough terrain, taking participants out of their comfort zone, yet still requiring thinking on the spot. The four precepts of the course are “Plan, Brief, Delegate and Motivate” and are taught with a distinctly dynamic and practical method. Specially designed leadership tasks, set within a given scenario, are used to enhance these skills with each delegate being given the opportunity to lead a group.
Greg Ingleton, HR Director at EMCOR Group (UK), comments: “With cadets sent from all over the world to train at RMAS, such is the reputation of its leadership training that there is no better place for EMCOR’s First Line Managers to hone their leadership skills. Following the two-day module, conducted at RMAS, we believe our delegates will have learnt valuable leadership lessons and will be able to put their knowledge straight into practice as stand-out employees in the business. In total, 120 of EMCOR’s first line management will attend this programme in 2012, with the intention of having all first line managers complete the programme by mid-2014.”
