Program Details and Syllabus
Prepare Your Management Team
If you want your management team to drive productivity, engagement and retention so that you get the most from your staff… and realize the true potential of you company, then you must help your management team by giving them the training they’ve never had. Enroll your Management Team in the Exceptional Manager Program.
Managment Teams and Productivity
A full 95% of all businesses with 20 or more employees struggle to grow because their management team can’t facilitate growth. While your Management Team is a small percentage of the team, making up only about 15-20% of your company’s staff, they affect 80% of your performance and productivity because it’s the managers that drive productivity, engagement, and retention for the vast majority of the employees.
The “Managment Gap”
Most people who promote into management responsibilities do so without any management training at all. Despite the critical role played by managers, few of them receive the necessary training. Known as the “Management Gap,” most leaders take their first management role at the age of 28 but don’t receive their first management training class until the age of 42. They end up in this role for years without any training. How can a business expect top productivity and performance if the management team is lacking the needed skill sets?
Why This Matters
The underlying issue is employee engagement. A full 70% of employees admit to being disengaged in their jobs. A disengaged workforce does not create a high-functioning, highly profitable organization. But increasing management team effectiveness can improve employee engagement by 75%. Remember, it’s the Management Team that fosters, develops and grows employee engagement.
