WORKSHOP OVERVIEW

Most managers are promoted because of their technical competence. And then they get little help in adjusting to their new role. Some end up doing the job poorly – they become bad managers. Some start working real hard to get better. They throw everything they can at the job – their energy, emotions, logic, problem solving skills, technical skills, social skills – everything including the kitchen sink. And the cost of becoming a good manager gets really high. Dave knows the drill because he’s done it himself and helps out managers on the same exhausting path he was on. Being a good/great manager just doesn’t have to be that hard! With the right tool kit you can dramatically improve your skills as a manager without paying such a high personal price.
