Reflective Line Management

This training is designed for any new or existing line managers. It offers a holistic approach and an exploration of good practice.

The training comprises two parts.

Part 1 (3 hours) is for all line-managers, regardless of lay employee:

• identify the key skills/qualities needed to manage lay employees.
• fulfil their role and responsibilities in managing lay employees in the Methodist Church
• clarify the different functions of line management
• understand their role in managing the employment cycle

In addition, Part 2 (3 hours) is for all those managing a lay-employee with "significant pastoral contact with individuals and families", for instance, children and families workers, youth workers and local lay pastors and pioneers / NPNP workers:

• understand their own operational preferences
• have confidence in making interventions
• enable lay employees to reflect on their practice
• support lay employee development and vocation
