We are working more, but not seeing more profits. We are attracting new clients, but not making an impact in the bottom line. We are running faster and more furiously than ever, and we are standing still. It’s a frustration shared by organizations ranging from small enterprises to multinational corporations. How can you build profits, increase productivity, create more robust growth, and achieve better morale among your people? Your management practices – and people – are the solution.

Managers are increasingly frustrated. They are spending more and more time in the trenches and not doing actual managerial work or strategic thinking. Despite strategy initiatives handed down from the executive levels, they are not seeing real, substantive changes. Nor do they feel connected to the overall strategy of the company, if they even know what it is. The expectations placed on them are not being met, and the frustration only grows when they know they could propel these changes if they had the time and support for managerial tasks.
The effectiveness of your managers is directly tied to increased productivity and profitability. The most important relationship that employees have at work is with their immediate manager. The importance of these roles cannot be understated, but too often, management practices are not supported or structured in a way that allows for optimal results.
Effective managers matter. According to Leigh Branham, author of The 7 Hidden Reasons Employees Leave, 70 percent of employees leave a job for reasons related to factors that are directly controllable by their managers. Gallup surveys report that work groups that are ineffectively managed are 50 percent less productive and 44 percent less profitable. Managers are a conduit between the executives and the operations-level employees; when they are given the tools to achieve maximum efficiency, the results are profound.
Effective ManagersTM has developed a Webinar to address the main drivers that are negatively impacting the performance of managers, and what can be done by organizations to reverse their impact from the perspective of the CEO, the head of HR, and the manager.
The session also provides an introduction to the five requirements of effective managers, to provide participants an understanding of how managers should approach their work in order to maximize their effectiveness.
