Business and Financial Training from The Matchett Group
Mastering Management
After nearly four decades of training managers, we’ve been back to the drawing board, to completely re-think what great management means in the modern workplace – and how we can teach people to master it.
Mastering management has never been easy. In our experience, it’s never been just a matter of reading a book, or even attending a training course. It’s always been as much about being able to change your attitude and mindset, as acquire new skills. And it is always, always, influenced by the culture, values, strategy and situation of the organisation in which you work.
Overview
Our new Mastering Management programme aimed at all new managers, or those with no formal training. It is built on what we believe to be the fundamental skills of modern managers, including emerging areas of best practice, such as leading remote or virtual teams and working with outsourcers. It is meant to be customised to you and your organisation.
Through our client engagement process we will integrate your case studies, select the best delivery method to achieve great results within the constraints of your time and budget.
Who Delivers it?
Matchett training consultants all have management experience and the ability to relate the training to real life. They are a diverse and exceptional team, with different backgrounds and specialisms, able to bring both breadth and depth to the programme. They will tell you what the books don’t. They will inspire you to do something differently – and help you understand why you should. More importantly, you’ll know how to be a great manager.
Mastering Management with Matchett will help you become confident, competent and self-aware, able to inspire your team, deliver strategy and make a measurable contribution to your organisation’s performance.

Back to topOur Belief
We appreciate the constraints which new managers work under – and the failure of many ‘good practice’ theories which don’t work in reality. Our programme works with the knowledge that managers often have no time, have to deliver not just manage, they inherit the team (including the poor performers), and can lack of direction from superiors.
Our Belief
We believe that great management is:
- About people, first and foremost
- An art not a science….and definitely not a process
- Influenced by your situation
- Getting the best from people around you: reports, peers and superiors
- Taking personal responsibility
