Leadership Growth

6-MONTH MANAGER DEVELOPMENT
COURSE

Empower your front line and mid-level managers to build effective teams, drive ROI, and excel as leaders.

Next cohort starts April 25. Deadline to enroll is Sunday, April 21.

Are poorly trained managers costing you profits and productivity?

Many companies promote internally – moving up their best people. But 60% of new managers fail within 24 months. Even seasoned managers can sink into bad habits and stagnate instead of stepping up.

No one wants to see their people fail. Yet most companies don’t have the training and support that managers need.

We help managers develop the skills and confidence to lead. 

Our 6-month online program is designed for front line and mid-level managers.

Expert facilitators lead an interactive 2-hour class each month via Zoom. Managers deepen their understanding with self-paced readings and videos. And they apply the new knowledge with real-world exercises.

Managers gain knowledge and tools to motivate, delegate, communicate, and coach. They learn how to deliver great results and great experiences for employees and customers.

Excellent managers make excellent places to work.

Well-trained managers elevate everyone around them. They empower others, improve retention, and make the organization more effective and resilient.

Managers will also work with our in-house  Certified Practitioners to use tools from Wiley Workplace Learning.

Bonus masterclasses level up leadership skills.

In addition to the core curriculum, managers get special access to our Leadership Masterclass Series. Thought leaders from successful businesses, not-for-profits, and public service join us to share valuable perspectives. Past and future speakers include:

  • Dr. Malik Muhammad, entrepreneur and passionate community advocate at Akoben LLC, on the principles and practices of restorative leadership.

  • Ann Rhoades, former VP of People at Southwest and JetBlue Airlines, on how to build a culture based on values.

Successful managers elevate the entire organization.

The impact goes well beyond productivity and profits. When managers have the training and support they need, they build a health company culture. Would you like to consistently be one of the best places to work and do business? Start by developing your managers.
