Consulting services - Developing workplace management

In our experience organisations spend a significant proportion of their resources building their leadership capabilities. While this is important it often comes at the expense of developing sound management capabilities within an organisation.

For example, first-time managers often find themselves in a position that is both exciting and challenging. Many first-time managers find the transition from individual contributor to people manager difficult, daunting, surprising and frustrating. Countless research findings have demonstrated that there is a strong relationship between management capabilities and problems relating to performance, engagement and retention, just to name a few.
