The 7 Pillars of Management
Success in any organisation, great or small, usually happens because of the success of its employees. Highly effective managers, team leaders, and supervisors are among the most critical components of an organisation’s success and growth. While technical or clinical skills may vary based on your industry, seven core management skills are universal across every workplace. We call them the 7 Pillars of Management.
The 7 Pillars of Management training gives new insights into what it takes to succeed as a manager and a leader. Whether your organisation has people who have been managing for years or have recently been promoted into management or leadership roles, this program provides a rock-solid foundation for learning the core principles for managing objectives and tasks and leading and inspiring the people within a team. This two-day training is used by many well-known Australian organisations as the foundational program for developing managers and emerging talent.
Key Learning Areas

The most important skill of all managers is to ensure that their efforts and energy are committed towards achieving their KRA’s (Key Result Areas). During this pillar participants are shown how to identify, clearly break down and set their yearly objectives.
Pillar 3. Managing Yourself
It’s impossible to manage a team if a manager is not organised. This pillar looks at the importance of personal productivity, time and priority management. In other words, how to get things done!
