Leadership Develoment plan
11th July 2017

APEER has launched a Leadership Development Programme for all of its Production Team Leaders to keep the manufacturer ahead of recent growth.

Around 18 Team Leaders, 12 Managers and Supervisors as well as a number of non-production staff will take part in the programme.

Chris Wilson, who joined the Co Antrim company as Production Director at the end of last year, explained “The company has not previously put our production team leaders through any management training but, to continue growing the company more effectively, we need them to take on a more strategic role, for example to be able to manage their teams to Key Performance Indicators within their specific areas.”

As well as KPIs, other areas of focus will include time management, effective delegation, problem solving, project and task management, communication skills and conflict management.

The Leadership Development Programme is the first major training initiative since Chris Wilson joined the company but he added that other areas of job-specific and product-specific knowledge such as PC Skills, Lean Manufacturing and Health & Safety may be developed in future.
