Course Description
Ever wonder if you’re getting this whole management thing down? Maybe you got promoted because you’re really good at what you do technically but realized that the people-side of things is a whole different animal. In this workshop, we’ll highlight the central themes all managers (no matter your level of experience) should incorporate in their practice to build productive and effective teams.
Audience: Managers (or aspiring Managers)
Duration: 2 hours
Learning objectives include:
Understand the mindset shift of a manager and where to allocate your time wisely
Build a positive and inclusive team culture to increase employee productivity and performance
Establish specific and measurable goals that excite employees with meaningful work
Hold effective 1:1 meetings that focus on coaching and development
Effectively prioritize your team’s workload and delegate where necessary
The Focal Point
What is your role as a manager? To the employee, you equal the company. Nobody affects the employee’s experience of work more than their manager—that’s why you often hear that employees don’t leave the company, they leave their boss.
This management training centers around how managers can establish a culture of trust and psychological safety before being able to effectively manage a team. We discuss the importance of transparency and managing expectations. If the employee’s expectations of work have been met, then they’ll have a positive experience at work. Furthermore, if they have a strong experience at work, then they’ll become more productive at work.
