How to Effectively Lead Managers

This course is for leaders who manage other managers.  It can also be tailored for frontline leaders who are ready to advance a level in the organization.  Leveraging the work of Ram Charan and his co-authors in The Leadership Pipeline, we examine the key changes required for mid-level leaders to optimize their effectiveness.  Participants learn best practices for hiring and leading the frontline leaders that report to them, for skip level meetings and for gauging their own effectiveness.
