Faced with tight labor markets, unprecedented change to manage, and tough demands for productivity, today's managers are searching for solid answers. This program capitalizes on a 15-year Gallup Organization Study (compromising 1 million talented employees and 10,000 great managers) that examines two pivotal questions:
·What does top talent need from their work environment to produce profound results?
·What are the best practices employed by great managers for retaining and motivating top talent?
The study offers conclusive evidence for the power of managers in influencing employee performance. More than perks, company reputation, or even salary, top talent says they want to work for a great manager; and that relationship determines their willingness to stay with an organization and to give their discretionary energy to projects.
This program is custom-tailored for managers (and top employees) who want to create empowering relationships where their respective talents are optimized.
Objectives
Participants will be able to:
·Properly empower their team members so a reliable decision-making process is followed and the stress associated with letting go of decisions is minimized.
·Apply 12 questions to benchmark their management approaches with a landmark Gallup Study group of world-class managers.
·Apply a dual focus perspective to common management tasks that balance short term and long term outcomes
·Manage employee's natural strengths and talents rather than trying to improve their weaknesses
·Practice role reinvention by altering current job descriptions to anticipate the needs of internal and external customers.
