LEADERSHIP FOR MANAGERS

Being a manager is an especially sociable profession, in which you guide your team forward by helping them succeed. In addition to expertise, it requires good self-knowledge, awareness, and perception skills. To be able to lead others, you must be able to lead yourself.

According to a global 2019 study by Gallup, only 15 % of employees experience commitment to their organization’s goals. Up to 70 % of the employee experience regarding their role and significance in the organization is affected by the actions of managers.

This experience of importance and commitment can be achieved only by showing genuine interest and consideration to diversity. A manager who thinks like a boss, generalizes, but a manager who thinks like a coach, individualizes.

The role of managers almost always includes daily leadership, but as coaches we often see how no one takes care that these skills are taught and learnt. No one is a natural manager any more than a natural doctor. Each profession – and that’s what being a manager is – requires specific skills, internalizing the role and processes, and practical self-reflection about your actions.

Our Realized^® Leadership for Managers training provides you with all the necessary knowledge and methods of daily leadership of different people. You will perceive the importance of appreciating diversity and learn how to enable subordinates to boost their efficiency by best utilizing their strengths.

In Realized^® Leadership training, you will learn strong interaction skills and methods to give feedback. You will learn a leadership style that relies on coaching techniques, in which you spar with your subordinates, clear obstacles, and enable their success.

Stepping into the role of a manager is challenging. You must establish your role, earn the trust of your subordinates, take charge of all the responsibilities of the position, and lead your subordinates forward. All of which usually must happen quickly and simultaneously.

This management training helps you internalize the cornerstones of your newly acquired management role. We’ll build upon management routines to create a positive leadership method for you. The training provides skills in everyday management, leadership communication, giving feedback, performance management, and knowledge management.

A tailored, well-planned management training or coaching will provide you with the means to quickly take charge of your new position as manager, saving you time and effort and enabling you to concentrate on what is most important.

The genuine leadership of people is not telling them what to do or sending complicated emails. To be a successful leader you need to lead your people on an individual level. The skills provided by this training help you improve teamwork, cooperation, motivation, job satisfaction, and commitment to work, to the team, and to the leader.

In our leadership training, we coach leaders to greatly improve consciousness of communication as well as the skills to make best use of diversity – and to guide different people to use their strengths. You cannot lead everyone with the same formula. People have different logical mindsets, different ways of communicating and working. Motivation and commitment are also individual.

Completo DISC

In our leadership training, we use the practical DISC-model to highlight how to better understand and lead different people. Through DISC, we can see how each person can best succeed in their most natural way. DISC does not measure or rate people according to skill or superiority.

During the leadership training, you will receive your personal Completo DISC Profile. Exploring it will increase your self-knowledge and build your awareness about how your actions and communication affect other people, all in a constructive manner. The Manager’s Profile also describes your natural competences in different leadership and communication situations, and it provides you with a personal map to truly understand and lead different styles of working.

This leadership training brings results to everyday leadership. The training gives you the tools to ensure that the people in your team can efficiently concentrate on their tasks. We coach you to coach your subordinates so that schedules are met and internal communication works.

The leadership training focuses on interaction and communication skills because, after all, all leadership is interaction. As a manager, you need be as clear and constructive as possible. We coach you to understand when to provide feedback and how to best do that with different people. This requires patience and discretion. We also address skillful delegation, prioritizing of your own responsibilities and your subordinates’ tasks, as well as motivation management.

Are you aware of your own factors of motivation? They guide your actions, affect your attitudes, and can probably be seen in your behavioral patterns. A motivated staff enjoys a healthy, positive attitude and is, according to many studies, more likely to achieve goals and succeed. (Losada & Heaphy, 2004; Meneghel, Saranova & Martínez, 2014; Pentland, 2012; West, Patera & Carsten, 2009.)

In this leadership training, we draw on psychology and research, and develop concrete, tailored solution models for you. The training will provide you with the tools to continue your personal leadership development along with your daily work.
