Who this training is for
- Managers at all levels and team leads
- Internal trainers and HR/L&D teams who need a ready-made leadership development program
- Independent trainers who deliver programs for corporate clients
Problems it solves
- The manager makes every decision for the team and drowns in day-to-day operations
- Employees bring problems instead of solutions
- Heart-to-heart talks do not change behavior
- Feedback either turns into a telling-off or is never given
- You need to grow successors and engagement without a budget for external coaches
