Many organizations fill their leadership pipelines with managers who were promoted for their technical capabilities, but then enter "the management death zone", a zone field with new business challenges, obstacles, and often very little help. Learn how to avoid “losing” new managers as we share powerful examples from the aviation industry and what is done to keep pilots alive as they journey from student aviators to seasoned professionals. Many of these practices translate directly to steps we too can take to ensure that new leaders successfully make the transition from new managers to strategic leaders. Studies continue to show that organizations with effective “leaders of people” return more to shareholders, have lower turnover, and have a higher market value. As part of the discussion we will show how effective training processes link to an organization’s strategic plan. We will explore a new cutting edge approach that combines modern learning modalities to transform struggling managers into strategic leaders in an accelerated time frame. If you are a partner in the business responsible for developing talent and leveraging training dollars, this is a must attend workshop.
