How Does Your Business Grow? 

 

Do you encourage and provide access for your management team to continue their professional development? Do you realize that in fact there is a persistent shortage of qualified managers throughout the country? Without giving your managers an opportunity to shine, is your business really fit for growth? 

 

Why do you promote an individual to the level of manager? What does he/she demonstrate? Your choice is often based on this person showing that he/she can be a leader, can motivate, can manage and he/she can be accountable for performance. Or does it? 

  

Right from the start of this new journey for any manager, there is a strong need for continued professional development to help not only the individual to grow, but to also ensure that business growth is achieved. 

 

Leave your manager to his/her own devices, to muddle along without any help or advice, and you will achieve nothing. A majority of managers in this situation become complacent, stressed, undervalued and ultimately they will source better prospective opportunities and resign.

Making the most of a new manager 

 

A new manager will be keen to perform, to meet targets set and to demonstrate his/her ability to work well with his/her team and as a member of the management team. Working hard to get to this level, this individual strives to learn and develop as many skills as he/she can to grow, flourish and achieve. 

 

Let’s face it, with the impact of the economic upheaval there are many managers who really have little or no management skills or experience. Were they simply promoted because there was a need to fill a role within a team? Once in the role how much leadership and management training was actually made available?  

 

What is the secret to achieving a standard level of excellence to maximize personal and professional growth? To create your standard of excellence your organisation must provide access to teach, develop and nurture leadership and management skills. Managers across the UK are crying out for an opportunity to be better managers, to be challenged, to be empowered and to build the performance of themselves and their team. 

 

When you allow your managers to become the greatest asset in your business, productivity, effectiveness and positive engagement will result. No longer will your managers feel undervalued, ignored and underdeveloped. 

 

Instead, through effective leadership and management training, your management team will be more involved, be more enthusiastic, feel valued and will help you deliver your standard of excellence.
