How to Engage Your Team
What is this course about?
A motivated employee is a retained employee — and in a skills-short economy, that's not a small thing. This 1-day workshop for managers uses the concept of 9 Enneagram types to understand core motivations, applies Hertzberg and Maslow's theories in a South African context, and covers generational theory to help engage GenZ talent. The result: managers who use feedback as a motivator, not a whip.

Every workshop we publish is also delivered in-house — at your premises anywhere in South Africa and beyond, at one of our venues, or live online. Before we deliver, our course designers can adapt How to Engage Your Team to your team: your industry’s examples in the case work, your real challenges in the exercises, your operational rhythm in the schedule. We meet you, agree the outline together, and only then do you place the order.
In-house rates drop per delegate as the group grows — for larger teams it is usually the more affordable option as well as the better-fitting one.
