THE 6 CRITICAL PRACTICES
Everyone Deserves a Great Manager
Based on decades of research, FranklinCovey’s Everyone Deserves a Great Manager delivers the guidance every new manager needs to be successful: the support, understanding, strategies, and tactics to develop as a leader and turn their people into an engaged, high-performing team. These 6 Critical Practices will give managers a head start in building the competence and confidence they need to succeed.
Practice 1:
Develop a Leader’s Mindset
Leaders learn the critical mindset shifts from those of an individual contributor to those of a leader.
Practice 2:
Hold Regular 1-on-1s
By conducting these essential meetings effectively, leaders increase engagement of team members, better understand team issues, and help team members to solve problems to succeed.
Practice 3:
Set up Your Team to Get Results
Leaders learn to create clarity about team goals and results, and they delegate responsibility to team members, while providing the right level of support.
Practice 4:
Create a Culture of Feedback
Both giving and receiving consistent, genuine feedback builds confidence and competence, and increases the performance of a leader and a team.
Practice 5:
Lead Your Team Through Change
Leaders can take specific actions to help team members navigate and accelerate through change and achieve better performance.
Practice 6:
Manage Your Time and Energy
The best leaders use weekly planning to focus on the most important priorities and to strengthen their ability to be an effective leader by applying five energy drivers.
WHAT REAL MANAGERS ARE SAYING:
