Change is always upon us and this presents leadership challenges. It’s not the strongest that survive, but those that are most adaptable to change. But to thrive we need leaders, not managers.
Are your senior people capable of handling leadership challenges?
If not, here is a short sequence of steps to get your leaders ready for any potential challenge.
Prepare your people for leadership challenges
We regularly meet people in management who have never received the right training.
What to remember when building foundations:
-
- Struggling managers need empowerment, and fast, in order to understand the value they can provide
- Leaders are created when we build people up with better knowledge of their own strengths
- A foundation of self-awareness enables leaders to better understand what they should be asking of their teams
- Struggling managers need empowerment, and fast, in order to understand the value they can provide
Management training should always connect people with the ‘why’ of a business
What to remember when building connections:
- It’s essential that all the people in senior roles share the same values and are guided by them
- Those in leadership positions should be equipped with the knowledge and support to embody the long-term vision
- Connecting management to the purpose that drives a business is what makes and inspires the best decisions
- It’s essential that all the people in senior roles share the same values and are guided by them
Effective management isn’t a talent. It’s a technique that uses tried and tested tools.
What to remember when encouraging actions:
- The best 121s, huddles and team meetings should create people who are happy and self-managing
- It’s critical to liberate managers from becoming trapped in day-to-day handholding practices and routines
- Highly effective leaders and high performing teams come from purposeful application of the correct tools
- The best 121s, huddles and team meetings should create people who are happy and self-managing
Creating great leaders
New, emerging or just overwhelmed managers get frustrated easily. This leads to poor team results and disconnection from your overall goals.
Our mission is to help managers to become leaders of people, by creating the environment that cultivates a happy culture, and enables them to tackle any leadership challenge that comes their way.
That’s why we provide a dedicated leadership programme on management essentials.
