Our Leadership for Managers program looks at managerial capabilities, how to evaluate them, and build the ones needed to create value for the customer, the employees and the organization. Enjoy the flexibility to reflect on your own capabilities and determine areas for self-improvement and growth.
If you’ve ever managed or been managed, you’ll understand the critical role that managers play in engaging, motivating and retaining critical employees and talent. Most organizations neglect the role of managers, undervalue it and, therefore, suffer from a lack of strong management capability.
Employees want managers who will provide goals as well as direction, feedback and coaching—and who will recognize and reward them for good performance. Yet not all managers are delivering on these expectations and this has ripple effects for the organization in terms of engagement, productivity and retention risks. The Leadership for Managers program is an opportunity to assess your own skills, create your own development plan, and gain new insights.
