The Manager's Role In Development
Managing Development Planning™, a one-day workshop, introduces your managers, directors and officers to an entirely new way of viewing and collaborating with employees on their development.
No matter how much they believe in development for their employees, most managers struggle to incorporate development planning and discussions into their crowded agendas. Although many hundreds of managers with whom we’ve worked came to Managing Development Planning™ only because of a requirement linked to a performance management or development initiative, virtually all left reporting that it was one of the most practical, useful and realistic approaches to support them that their company had ever offered.Through our Five Tools for managing strength-based development planning, managers learn to challenge and support employees, and upgrade their own development plans as well.
