Companies that thrive through adversity recognize that middle managers are responsible for some of the most mission-critical activities within the organization–attracting and retaining talent, driving results, and creating an inclusive culture. These leaders translate your company’s vision and mission into actionable goals that ensure success and accountability. Research shows most companies invest little in developing managers’ skills and mindset, even though creating a common ‘playbook’ with shared language and approaches returns exponential rewards. This comprehensive workshop facilitates building a team of empowering, empathetic and inclusive managers.
