Becoming a manager is one of the most challenging and critical career transitions. Managers are often chosen from high-performing individuals. These highly proficient doers often become struggling managers, without the methods or skills needed to succeed in Management Essentials.
Based on the #1 best-selling book The New One Minute Manager®, participants are introduced to the three secrets of successful managers: Goal Setting, Praising, and Redirecting. The program develops those secrets into a conversation framework that is easy for managers to understand and master. The program also adds a fourth conversation, Wrapping Up, which is needed to complete the core conversations and help managers boost the engagement and autonomy of their people.

This is a One Day face-to-face workshop, plus breaks and lunch. There are two LAUNCH activities that take about 15 minutes each. The workshop is a fast-moving combination of content, engaging activities, entertaining videos, and skill practice.
After the workshop, participants have access to the Manager Essentials Challenge, which guides learners through a set of tasks to practice skills back on the job. They also have access to workshop videos and worksheets for a full year through the learner portal.
