About the course

People are often the biggest cost in a business – and the most powerful asset when managed well. For finance professionals, balancing personal workloads with team leadership can be difficult, especially when working under pressure. But investing time in managing people pays off in performance, productivity, and team cohesion.

This course explores what effective people management looks like in a finance context. You’ll learn how to align your team with the organisation’s goals, coach individuals to improve performance, and build clarity around roles, expectations, and development. It also tackles the challenge of delegation, hybrid working, and giving feedback with confidence.

You’ll come away with practical tools to strike the right balance between managing and doing, build stronger relationships with your team, and support a culture of continuous improvement.
