CPD Hours: 7

Developing effective leadership and management skills is challenging in any situation, but when you are analysing critical data and making important decisions that won’t always be popular, it is essential to have advanced leadership and influencing skills. Learn how to become a successful leader/manager, improve communication, make better decisions, manage conflict and build credibility.


Using the latest science and research about how our brains work, coupled with researched psychology to understand interpersonal relationships and how conflict arises, this course can help you avoid unnecessary difficulties and help you excel in your role as a QP, RP and first-time manager.

This course is suitable for trainee Qualified Persons, Trainee QPs, Responsible Persons, Deputy RPs, QA Managers, QC Managers or Production Managers or any first manager in the pharmaceutical industry.

  • Influencing and building rapport to effectively carry out your work, reaching correct outcomes; this involves communication with an array of different people and different levels
