It's Okay to Be the Boss: Back-To-Fundamentals Leadership


Description
9 out of 10 managers aren't providing the support or guidance their teams need in order to be successful. That's what we call undermanagement -- and it could be costing your organization every day: - Unnecessary problems that spin out of control - Wasted resources - Employee errors - Gaps in accountability - Low performers who hide out and collect paychecks - High performers who get frustrated and think about leaving - If any of the above sounds familiar to you, you are dealing with undermanagement! GOOD NEWS – there’s a way to break out of the patterns of undermanagement to become a strong, highly-engaged manager, and this course will teach you how. Learn the eight steps back to the fundamentals of highly-engaged management, focusing on high-structure, high-substance communication. When you put these techniques into practice, you’ll see a real difference in the way your team runs: less firefighting, less rework, more accountability, and more energized employees who know what's expected of them and what they need to do to succeed.
