7 Habits for Managers

Successfully leading a team takes a unique and different set of skills than those of an individual contributor. It’s hard to be a good boss! Many leaders and managers have been promoted due to their individual competence, but struggle when it comes to leading and managing people.

The 7 Habits for Managers® equips team leaders to address these basic issues and improve how they achieve sustainable results through and with others. This solution distinctly focuses on who a manager IS, not just what they DO. Its uniqueness is the lens of the 7 Habits framework— and the way it applies new mindsets, skills, and tools towards becoming a great leader who can consistently deliver results.

Develops essential mindsets, skillsets and toolsets to get work done with and through others. Most valuable when needing to build the leadership pipeline at the frontline-leader level.

Leading at the Speed of Trust 

Trust is an economic driver and always impacts two measurable outcomes: speed and cost. Learn the skills that increase personal credibility and specific behaviors that increase trust and enable you to better manage change and lead high-performing teams that are agile, collaborative, innovative, and engaged.

Unconscious Bias

But it affects how we make decisions, engage with others, and respond to various situations and circumstances, often limiting potential. Unconscious Bias: Understanding Bias to Unleash Potential helps participants:

• Identify and adjust for bias
