Effective managers do more than organise daily tasks. They support their teams, respect individual differences and create an environment where everyone can contribute. The CMI Bitesize course, Role and Responsibilities of a Manager, introduces the key responsibilities of managers in building fair, inclusive and productive workplaces. Developed by the Chartered Management Institute (CMI), this short professional development programme helps you strengthen your understanding of effective people management.

Through this short management skills course, you will explore equality, diversity and inclusion, the value of diverse teams, leadership styles and the responsibilities involved in managing people. You will also examine unconscious bias and how managerial behaviour and decisions affect others. Four learning activities help you reflect on the subject and consider how to challenge unfair behaviour and encourage positive working relationships. The course is suitable for aspiring and practising managers, team leaders, supervisors and professionals preparing for management responsibilities.

With Global Edulink, you can complete this CMI Bitesize management course fully online, with three months of programme access and flexible learning around your commitments.

The knowledge gained from this management and leadership course may support progression towards Team Leader, Supervisor or Junior Manager roles, depending on your experience and additional qualifications.
