“Understanding my leadership style…helped me develop as a team leader” – Christian Polzin – South Kesteven District Council (SKDC)  

At Lincoln International Business School we are committed to supporting businesses of all sizes and sectors in the development of the key skills required to lead and manage others effectively. Developing Managerial Mindset (DMM)is a short course delivered by the Lincoln International Business School aimed at supporting new managers with line management, personal development, change and business management.  

Christian Polzin, a Commercial Team Leader at South Kesteven District Council completed the DMM programme in 2021.

“Before the course I did expect lots of theories and models – I wasn’t disappointed.  But, along with the expected models the course tutor really brought the theory to life engaging all students and using real life examples.  I am not sure I could be doing my job effectively without attending this course, in particular understanding my leadership style and reflection on my natural traits really helped me develop as a team leader/manager.  It was a superb course delivered perfectly and the course work was a good challenge and opportunity to look at how I would be implementing my learning into my managerial role.” 

We are now recruiting for our October 2023 cohort. If you’re looking to develop your fundamental management skills, contact us at LIBS_Exec@lincoln.ac.uk to find out more.
