A manager who lacks confidence in their English language skills can have a negative impact on the team&#8217;s level of and willingness to speak English. If team members sense the manager&#8217;s insecurity, they may hesitate to speak English well to avoid making the manager feel uncomfortable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even worse, a manager&#8217;s uncertainty about their English proficiency may lead them to avoid professional situations that require a good command of the language. This sends signals to the team: English is not encouraged here, and professional opportunities in German (or other languages) are encouraged while professional opportunities&nbsp; to communicate in English are consciously or unconsciously avoided. This results in the untold loss of opportunity that proficiency in English facilitates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To break this cycle and thrive as a manager, it is crucial to take advantage of business English courses. Tailored business English courses for managers and teams offer the opportunity to enhance language skills across an organisation and boost everyone&#8217;s confidence in international business environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>By elevating your business English to a higher level, you can seize professional opportunities on a global scale and position yourself as a competent and confident manager heading successful teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Your confidence in speaking English will impact the way your team speaks English and the type of opportunities they pursue.
