Purchase a module and run in person, or online!
Management training is expensive and doesn’t often deliver. Not Management Bites! Our 4 hour modules can be brought off the shelf and then you choose how to run them.
- As a half day in person workshop, or buy 2 and you’ve got a 1 day session
- As a half day virtual workshop
- As 1 hour virtual sessions that focus on specific parts of a topic
You can also run them with 2 – 20 managers, making this a flexible way to make sure all managers get the same training! They can be re-run with new managers, in different locations, or as part of any formal management training you run.

We have 6 CORE modules, which we believe all managers should know. These include understanding yourself as a manager, employment law, performance reviews, giving feedback, recruitment and selection, and communications.

The 6 LEADERSHIP modules are areas that can really add value and include time management and delegation, motivation and coaching, leading change, restructuring and dismissals, building high performance teams and growing culture and skills.
What you get
Purchasing an OFF THE SHELF module you receive the following:
- A set of slides that you can customise with your company branding
- A facilitators guide detailing how to run the session
- A PDF set of handouts for participants which you can use online, or print out copies for that old school flavour (and people actually remember more when they write with a pen on paper).
If you’re not into facilitating yourself, then one of the Elephant team can facilitate for you. There is an extra cost for this, but our team can facilitate virtually or face to face and you can build a one day, two day or three day programme from any of the modules (which are all half days).

Results you might see
The programme gets results! Here are three case studies of what results the Management Bites programme achieved:

“This was hands down the best training I’ve ever attended. I thought it would be the usual semi-boring workshop, but it was really fun and useful and had methods I could really use.”
100% of thousands of attendees rate Management bites training as excellent, and that they have learned new tools and techniques to use!

Purchasing gives you the license to run the module within your organisation, as many times as you like, for as many managers!
