Why Invest in Leadership Training for Managers?

Are your managers effective leaders?

Many managers get promoted because of their individual competencies but struggle with leading and managing people. FranklinCovey has significantly invested in research to better understand what organizations and businesses need from their leaders today and in the future. We discovered three common challenges:

  1. New leaders need to learn the basics of managing and leading others.
  2. Emerging leaders need to upscale their knowledge and people skills.
  3. Every leader can benefit from gaining mastery of the foundational skills of leadership.

Our management training course The 6 Critical Practices for Leading a Team®  fast-tracks the impact of every leader, equipping them with the skills and tools that every manager needs (but few receive). Level set skills across your organization so that all leaders use a consistent approach to managing and motivating others.

Whether leaders have been in their roles for some time, are brand new, or are emerging leaders, this leadership and management course will enable them to build the skills necessary to lead effectively.
