FROM MANAGER TO REMARKABLE LEADER

Leadership Skills That Create Lasting Results


Is this your organization...

  • "We don’t support our middle managers with training or development."
  • "It’s been a long time since we focused on our mid-level leaders."
  • "We have executive and new leader training, but not much for others."
  • "What we expect of our mor experienced leaders is changing, but we aren’t equipping them for those changes."

We built the From Manager to Remarkable Leader Workshop for organizations with those concerns and habits.

If you want to give your middle managers and experienced leaders support, direction and new purpose, this learning experience based on our proven Three-O Leadership Model – (Others, Outcomes, Ourselves) will give your leaders a broader toolkit and the confidence to use those tools in order to make a positive impact for their teams, your organization and your customers.

Your experienced managers have learned a lot and probably do many things well – but you know they can, and you need them to do better. Things are going ok most of the time but ok doesn’t really cut it in a rapidly changing, ever-more-complex world of work.

If your organization is facing:

  • a lack of innovation
  • poor communication
  • silos and poor collaboration
  • resistance to needed change
  • reduced productivity
  • the loss of top talent (including managers)
  • <include your own challenges>

Before you invest in a new tool or strategy, look at the skills and habits of your managers. Because when you improve their skills, you can reduce each of those challenges organically – and perhaps more rapidly than you realize.

In this learning experience we focus on what it means to lead, not just manage. In our vast experience working with people from front line leaders to the C-suite, we have seen that the mental and actual transition from thinking like a manager to thinking like a leader can be the biggest lever to improve results, job satisfaction, and more.

When you look at the descriptions of the parts of this experience below you will notice we focus on some areas you would expect, like communication, coaching, and change management. But in each case, we will go deeper and share secrets that are different than what you might expect or have seen before.

We can deliver this program as described below for your organization as either a two day in-person experience or in a series of 6 two-hour virtual modules to be scheduled and spaced in a way that work best for your people and organization.
