With its positive, practical messages, this engaging programme will appeal to people who know how to be good managers but who might also appreciate some down-to-earth advice at a time when mounting pressures can blur priorities.

Managers are constantly facing the pressures of having to champion and implement many changes whilst stretching themselves and their teams in pursuit of challenging targets. Middle managers, in particular, find themselves squeezed between the demands from 'on high' and possible resentments and lack of resources from below. It can feel as though things are out of control.

Managing only just! will help managers take that crucial step back in order to take stock. It provides an opportunity to reflect on their own pressures, to assess their strengths and weaknesses in managing a team under pressure, and to address their work/life balance.
