Local Business Expert Offers Leadership Training
Whether a person is brand new to a management role or has been overseeing other people for years, improvements in leadership can make them a better manager. In so many cases, companies throw high performing employees into management roles, but don’t equip them with the tools they need to succeed. Instead, helping managers develop important leadership skills gives them the best chance to perform at a high level.
I am a business coach who works with companies and individuals in Milwaukee and the surrounding areas. During my career as a coach, I have been fortunate to work with companies representing many different industries, and it’s my passion to help people find professional success.
Leadership is a main area of focus for any type of client I work with. If you are a manager who is struggling to make the transition from working to leading, or you are a company leader who wants to equip your managers with the skills they need, my management training can help. Read on to learn more about how this training works.
Improve Communication Skills
Being a great communicator goes a long way in being a great leader. As a manager, it’s your job to take direction from executives and then pass on actionable steps to your team. This means being able to effectively convey expectations and directions in a way which can be easily understood. In our training, we discuss the importance of clear, direct and concise communication, along with how active listening can make you a better communicator.
Learn Effective Delegation
Delegation might be the most difficult part of a new manager’s job. When someone moves into management, they aren’t used to having other people perform tasks. Instead, new managers tend to take on too much and eventually their work suffers or they become burned out. Delegation is necessary, and I help managers understand when to delegate and how to ensure the people they are delegating to have everything they need to succeed.
Better Manage Your Time
Time management is a skill I cover with everyone I work with, whether it’s a manager of a small team or the CEO of a huge organization. Being a better time manager involves taking on the most important (or most difficult) tasks first and delegating other tasks which can be handled by others. When you become a better time manager, you can experience less stress and perform at a higher level.
Focus on the Big Picture
When someone becomes a manager, there is a mindset shift which must happen. Instead of working in the business performing daily tasks, a manager instead works on the business. This means focusing on the right processes to make your team efficient and viewing your department from a higher level. This change in mindset is the first step in becoming a manager rather than a worker.
If you want to equip yourself or your team members with the skills needed to manage effectively, I would love to partner with you. To learn more about leadership training for managers, please check out my website or give me a call today.
