Listen "4 Insights from Running a New Manager Training Program"
Episode Synopsis
Over the last 4 years, we've built and evolved our new manager training program called the Leadership Accelerator and I took some time to reflect on the key insights learned during that time.
In this episode, we'll discuss:
Peer support vs. individual learning
Mindset vs. skill training
Good leadership vs. right leadership
Isolated training vs. integrated training
— RESOURCES MENTIONED —
Take the next step in your leadership journey by signing up for my Leadership Accelerator Program for new managers or Leadership Advisory Program for mid-level leaders.
Learn how to turn your 1-on-1 meetings from time wasters, awkward moments, status updates, or non-existent into your most important and valuable meeting with your directs all week. Access the course and resources here: ramonashaw.com/11
