Effective Managers = Effective Organisations

These days, the demands of leadership are more complex than ever. More and more, organisations are seeking ways to develop leaders with not only competence, but Character as well. Companies need leaders who will not just be decisive, but will make the right decisions. And organisations need managers who can thrive in today's "do more with less" world. What's more, as the current generation of executives retires, experts predict a serious shortfall in managers qualified to replace those leaders.

FranklinCovey's The 7 Habits for Managers programme is an intensive application-oriented learning experience that addresses the entire role of the manager. This programme gives new and experienced managers a set of tools that will help them meet all of today's management challenges, including:

• Conflict resolution
• Prioritisation
• Performance management
• Accountability and trust
• Execution
• Collaboration
• Team and employee development

Participants will learn how to:

• Increase resourcefulness and initiative
• Define the contribution they want to make in their role as managers
• Manage performance through a balance of accountability and trust
• Give constructive feedback
• Improve team decision-making skills by embracing - even encouraging - diverse viewpoints

Tools for Highly Effective Managers

The 7 Habits for Managers programme is taught as a two-day, facilitator-led workshop in a public or onsite setting. Certification is available for clients wanting to teach this programme to their organisation. The 7 Habits for Managers programme follows a reinforced learning process that includes:

• An optional pre- and post- 360⁰ assessment to measure management effectiveness
• A rich, comprehensive participant guidebook
• A Management Essentials book with insights on the role of the manager
• An audio CD with Stephen R. Covey explaining how The 7 Habits apply to managers
• Paper and electronic versions of the tools introduced in the programme

How does The 7 Habits of Managers differ from traditional leadership training?

Compare for yourself:

Traditional	7 Habits for Managers
The "Industrial-Age" approach: providing generic "skills and techniques" needed to control employee behaviour. Management without the foundation of character training and the discipline to manage themselves first. Managers trained to a standardard of minimal competence - who then give minimally back to the organisation.	The "Age of Knowledge Work" approach: unleashing the potential of team members, freeing them to make their best contribution. Managers who work on their character, who manage themselves effectively before trying to lead others. Managers bring their "whole selves" to work, define their unique contribution, and who achieve great and enduring results.

Build a Foundation of Effectiveness

The 7 Habits for Managers programme is a powerful application of the 7 Habits to the role of the manager. To deepen understanding of the 7 Habits principles and to build a foundation of individual effectiveness, participants are encouraged to enroll in The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People Signature Programme in conjunction with the 7 Habits for Managers Programme.
