Our Management Skills Training Offerings
Individual Contributor to Manager
One of the toughest phases for an employee is when he/she is promoted from an individual contributor level to a First Time Manager. This is more than a role change– it means that now the person is responsible for a team and has to get the best from others, moving away from an individual contributor mindset.
Many First Time Managers are unable to handle this change in the new role and expectations – they are either unable to understand what it means or unable to deploy the skills and attitude required. As a result, the percentage of failures of First Time Managers is very high. Unfortunately, this impacts the organisation in a big manner – in terms of costs, lost opportunities, and motivation levels.
The participants will be able to identify and work on the
- Skill Requirements – The new capabilities required to execute new responsibilities
- Time Applications -The new time frames that govern how one works
- Work Values – What people believe is important and so becomes the focus of their effort
Manager of Managers (MOM)
This transition is important in terms of the changed responsibilities and approach. The MOM has to build a high performing team by taking ownership for Managers who in turn are managing the Individual Contributors. The MOM also contributes to the talent strategy and is responsible for talent development at the Individual Contributor and Manager level and has to attract, develop, and retain talent ensuring that people with the right capabilities and motivation are placed accordingly.
The MOM is also responsible for empowering their management teams and holding them accountable for managerial responsibilities. They need to work effectively across regions to create a climate in which people feel empowered to unleash their potential and grow from their experiences. They also need to assure effective group and inter-group work while promoting clarity, alignment, and communicating effectively with their team and the relevant interfaces.
MOM’s are expected to drive group motivation and lead changes essential for the achievement of long-term goals. Thus, it is necessary for MOMs to be trained to succeed in their new challenging and extremely responsible role.
Their program would enable the MOM’s to acquire the desired knowledge, skills, and attitudes to succeed as MOM by deriving optimum contributions from team members, developing high-performance teams, and ensuring performance through empowerment.

Leadership Development
Leadership development helps leaders develop leadership skills that enable them to lead their teams and deliver consistent outcomes. Participants gain opportunities to reflect, share, network with other leaders, explore, share innovative practices and procedures, and gain insight into differing leadership approaches.
A recent Gallop survey indicated that:
- Just 35% of managers are engaged in their work
- Only 40% strongly believe they have opportunities for growth
- 1/3 strongly believe they have a supervisor encouraging their development
This brings into focus the important role that leadership development can play in business. Leadership development is important because it develops leaders to be better, engage with employees, gain knowledge of customer needs and wants, and strive to set an example for others.
Leaders who seek to improve their own performance often motivate employees to do the same. Leadership development also enables leaders to boost their own performance, craft solutions to address organisational problems, enhance decision-making skills, brainstorm productivity strategies and promote accountability within the organisation.

- Lead from the front
