Overview/Description
Senior managers provide a vital connection between organizational leadership and frontline management. They oversee the development of the organization's goals and its achievement. In addition, they must also manage relationships, both across the organization and across functions. While they are the voice of top management, they are also expected to deal with their own line managers to ensure that the organization's strategy is translated into action. These managers often need guidance, feedback, and appraisal on the application of business strategy. Managing managers is likely to be a greater challenge than ever before. It requires a new set of skills, insights, and competencies to drive performance and improve the bottom line. Successful managers must not only have the ability to continuously drive their managers to respond to change and stay ahead of the learning curve, they must also cope with any performance impediments, execute strategy, and deliver results.
