This course accelerates the transition of entry to mid-level manager from effective contributor to successful boss. Armed with the results of their own ADVanced Insights Strengths Profile, participants will clearly understand how to identify and leverage an individual’s strengths, motivators, and behaviors to maximize group performance. Using interactive problem-solving activities, role plays, case studies, group discussions, as well as individual assignments, participants will be challenged to compare the effectiveness of their current strategies for decision-making, problem solving, time management, goal setting, delegation, feedback and performance management against today’s best practices. Attendees will leave this program better prepared to lead confidently, communicate effectively, and manage intentionally.
