Get the Best Out of Your People

The key to your business' success is the performance of your people - and good managers are key to good performance. Many great individual contributors become managers without ever being trained to lead people. And yet, according to Gallup, most people leave their jobs because of bad managers.

The 5 Skills that Make Great People Managers

Great people mangers have the skills needed to get the best out of their people. These skills cover relationship development, as well as tactical skills like delegating work and giving feedback. We teach your managers how to hold people accountable to deliver great work while building relationships with them that will keep them at your company. Most individual contributors-turned managers will have never learned these skills.

A Comprehensive Curriculum

Our core curriculum covers the 5 key skills needed to manage people well, as well as the mindsets that produce great managers and the specific skills needed to get under-performers back on track and catapult over-achievers forward. 

We often customize our curriculum to meet the specific needs of organizations. Sometimes this involves going deeper on select topics above while excluding others. Other times this involves adapting the core tools shared above to teach participants related skills, like managing workload among team members, keeping teams on task to finish projects, and creating healthy, effective team cultures.
