Overview/Description
Managers today must deal with a myriad of business challenges. Often they must rely on their best personnel to get them out of a jam. But do they have the necessary skills and strategies for managing these key people? This course will examine what organizations need to do to ensure that they attract high performers, how they allow this talent to thrive, and, most importantly, how to avoid losing the talent to the competition. In addition, managers need to be able to evaluate an individual's performance and provide clearly defined outcome-based performance standards that create a benchmark for success. This requires managers to learn how to develop, coach, motivate, and inspire their high performers.
Target Audience
The target audience for this path is senior level directors, senior managers of strategic business units, and advanced level managers. It would also be of interest to managers working in a governmental agency or nonprofit organization where increasing business complexity places a premium on management having these advanced management skills. The course would also be suitable for those high-performing executives wishing to take on a significant corporate leadership position.
