As today’s businesses become leaner and increasingly agile, the responsibility for making decisions and getting things done is being pushed down to the individuals who are implementing the work. Employees throughout the organization are realizing that the company is asking them to be more productive with fewer resources, in less time, AND with less direction.
In order to make this happen, today’s managers find that they need to leverage all of their resources, the physical assets as well as the full capacity of their human capital assets.
It is the managers' responsibility to acquire, develop and use the full range of human talent on their team.
However, managing human capital can be challenging. We cannot leverage the full value of our talent using the same management techniques that we use to manage time and money. A different set of skills is required to get the most out of our people. And mismanagement of talent is fraught with downsides including:
- lost productivity
- higher production costs
- missed deadlines
- higher employee turnover
- lost business.
So as a manager, what can we do to insure that we can acquire, nurture and maintain our talent to accomplish our goals and make an impact on the bottom line?
In the Dale Carnegie leadership programs, The Leadership Advantage and The Leadership Training for Managers, we will review the challenges that managers face in taking on a leadership role. We will explore the differences between management and leadership and look at how to use our leadership skills to get the most out of our teams. We will explore ways to motivate our people to take initiative and action with less supervision. You’ll identify your own personal resources and skills that you can leverage in leading your team, and you’ll put together an action plan that you can implement immediately to begin the talent coaching and development process.
You will also discover:
- The differences between leadership and management.
- An essential component of leadership that is often overlooked.
