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 no 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.

The management training helps you internalize the cornerstones of your newly acquired work role. The role of the manager differs from that of the director. A manager is more firmly involved with everyday work on a practical level. Managers provide guidance, help, and development. The training provides skills in leadership communication, giving feedback, and other vital everyday leadership tasks.

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: leading your subordinates towards the expected goals and results.

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.

In our leadership trainings, 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 of how your actions and communication affect other people, all very constructively. The leadership profile also describes a person’s 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.
