Customized corporate-based training to accelerate your business performance
The best organizations know that it’s their people that drive performance. But there is an immense amount of pressure on your leaders to coach, manage and inspire their teams. Research shows that the best managers, who are the Best Bosses Ever, can drive wild success for an organization both financially through improved performance, and culturally with improved retention and job satisfaction.
Being the Best Boss Ever does more than affect organizational performance – it also changes a leader’s life forever by enhancing their personal skill set and career development.
Program Overview
Broken into a series of four workshops over an 8 to 12-month time frame, your leaders engage directly to apply behavioural tactics and learned techniques that will help them change the way they think. Following each workshop, your leaders will put classroom theory into action within your organization while receiving ongoing support from the coaching team. These interspersed coaching sessions are designed to enhance each leader’s personal skill set, delve into challenges, and address their personal obstacles to the required changes. Actions out of these sessions will be highly customized for each leader.
Best Boss Ever™ is a single program delivered in a highly customizable format. Program workshops can be prioritized according to the needs of your organization through an assessment prior to kick off.
