Why choose this training?
The challenges faced by managers continue to grow.
According to the latest figures from the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) and YouGov, 82% of managers are ‘accidental managers’, with no proper management training.
The report says managers have a deep impact on employee motivation, workplace culture, and organisational performance. We say that can go one of two ways. Your call.
Staying productive under extreme pressure of productivity
Engaging and retaining multi-generational teams
Driving performance in hybrid and remote work systems
Using tech and AI effectively and ethically
Finding new depths of personal resilience
Who’s it for?
Our Management training is for experienced managers looking to excel across the full scope of their management role.
There’s no hard and fast limit here. Typically we expect people have been a team leader or manager for several years.
In our management training for experienced managers we find managers want to consolidate their experience to build awareness of what they already (think they) know. Then they want to add new knowledge, skills and thinking to help them deal with their complex challenges and work pressures.
What does it cover?
We cover all management and leadership topics
Managing and motivating multiple / remote / hybrid team/s
Ensuring operational delivery against agreed targets
Improving ways of working to drive efficiency

Case Study: Selwood Housing
Selwood Housing is a social landlord and a charity managing over 7000 homes in Somerset and Wiltshire. They actively build new homes to address the UK housing crisis and aim to build 1,700 more affordable homes by 2034.
Crescente is proud to have supported the Selwood Housing Management Development Programme since 2018.
Participants attend eight training days together as a group over a period of six months. Topics covered ensure managers can excel in their roles to deliver the organisation’s ambitious strategic goals. There is a mandatory project and a mandatory CMI qualification component.
The level of seniority and experience within these groups is mixed, and they all learn together. To build both competence and confidence, we deliver both CMI level 3 and level 5 accreditation options, with the group being a mixture of new and experienced managers.
