The STAR^® Manager programme helps all managers and leaders maximise team performance and productivity improvements by embedding a more engaging style of management.

By incorporating the principles of Operational Coaching^®, busy managers begin to develop the situational awareness and the confidence to have great conversations with their team members every day in the flow of work.

The programme is for all leaders and managers, at every level, in any organisation.

The programme can be completed any time, any place, anywhere and on any device… as long as there’s an internet connection learners can access the programme.

STAR^® Coach is for all leaders, managers or aspiring managers at any level. STAR^® Manager is for anyone who has direct line management responsibility for others.

Both programme options work for all levels of managers across all sectors. We say this with confidence as this was the robust outcome from the academic study, completed on behalf of the UK Government and was independently evaluated by the London School of Economics. The data proved that the programmes had a positive effect for the learners, from aspiring managers all the way up to C-suite levels.

Learners will be able to put into practice the new skills learned in the programme as soon as they’ve completed the first module.

The STAR^®programme has several built-in methods of capturing success and return on investment.

The results are tracked via the reflections in the online learning log, and the success trackers. Learners are encouraged to complete these at the end of every module.

Stakeholders will be provided with monthly collated reports which share data as it’s captured. This report will include a tracker of the modules which have been completed, by learner, and key successes that have been recorded.

The Mission Control Team proactively use these trackers to reach out and support individual learners as they work through the programme.

We aim to work with any funding available to support as many learners to do the programmes as possible.
