Which skills survive, which ones don't, and what replaces them?
Some management skills are more relevant than ever. Reading a room. Building trust. Knowing when to step in and when to get out of the way. Others were built for a world that's disappeared or is disappearing quickly. This rapid change in skill requirements is putting managers at risk of either becoming irrelevant or disengaged.
Our next Leadership Foundation explores how we build the management capabilities that are missing from most management training.
Reasons to attend
Find out what's actually changed, not what people assume has changed, when defining future management skills.
Discover the specific attributes that will separate managers who thrive from those who will become less effective.
Explore the skills managers need for the future, to ensure you and your organisation are developing management skills effectively.
The online session will contain people asking the same questions you are. People who also suspect the ground has shifted.
The conversations in the break-outs are as good as the ones in plenary.
You'll get access to a self-checker questionnaire after the session, to find out where your own management approach is future-fit (or needs some work!)
