THE ISSUE
/f/129040/700x457/076fefe7b2/easton-and-otley-college-logo-70x457.jpg){kind=logo}
The College had experienced a period of significant change following the imposed merger of two specialist agricultural colleges.
Many managers had been promoted to their management role largely because they excelled in a specific subject area rather than because they had demonstrated any desire to or competence in managing individuals or a group effectively.
This gap in technical know-how manifested in unclear standards, vague objectives, uncertainty regarding relationship boundaries and a collective mindset of survive rather than thrive. Organisational and departmental performance, employee motivation and student engagement were all suffering. The College Chief Executive was eager to support Managers and teams to address the issues they could address, and find a more productive, healthy and engaging way of working within and across teams.
Managers gained insight into many aspects of self and people management including the impact that their own emotional state has on those around them, how to manage stressful situations more effectively, communicate with greater confidence and even prepare for and successfully facilitate a ‘tough talk’ with a win-win outcome in mind.

The Emotional Intelligence training for Managers event was very positive and extremely well received by all those who attended.
