Today’s managers account for over one-third of the workforce and are facing challenges without precedent.

Managers are being asked to do more with less as their span of control increases.  People managers report having to spend over half of their time on non-managerial tasks and as little as 10% of their time on what matters most — managing and coaching their front-line employees.

And even though Deloitte reported that companies invest the highest percent of their training dollars (35%) in management and leadership development, research by McKinsey found that:

  • 75% of executives are unsatisfied with the performance of their front-line managers.
  • 81% of managers reported not being satisfied with their own performance.

This is bad news.  Low performing managers make low performing companies.

The good news is that the flip side is also true: companies with higher performing managers realize an increase in profitability, productivity, employee engagement, customer satisfaction, and retention.

Based upon over 500,000 annual employee engagement surveys, we know that managers have a direct impact on four key metrics:

  • Employee performance
  • Employee engagement
  • Employee retention
  • Employee relations

While focused management development can certainly play a critical role in improving performance, management skills alone will not fully address the growth, performance, and speed challenges faced by today’s managers.

Managers must also address strategies, cultures, processes, and structures to drive lasting change.

Our Organizational Alignment Research found that managers who align their culture and talent with their strategy grow revenues 58% faster, are 72% more profitable, have 9-to-1 greater leadership effectiveness, and boost  employee engagement levels 16.8-to-1.

Our study found that the highest performing managers consistently:

  • Point the team in the right direction
  • Create an environment for people to perform at their peak
  • Attract, develop, engage, and retain top talent

Our research-backed approach to management development helps managers thrive in the following areas:

I had been working with LSA for many years across a few different companies.

Currently, I’m with a company who hadn’t done much new manager training. LSA designed and delivered exactly what we needed at this stage in our life cycle.

Our managers are excited, talking in the halls about the great experience, and applying what they learned.

LSA makes things easy and practical for us.  Thank you!

I appreciate that each management development program is preceded by a thorough training needs assessment of the participants that informs a design to fit the specific parameters and needs of the group.

The highly interactive delivery is provided by recognized experts in their fields. On the spot coaching is provided during the program and each participant receives individual follow-up after the course.

Courses can be delivered in-person or virtually.

Given the nature of Cisco’s business and the way we operate, these remote workshops are a must for anyone who joins our company. Their work is eye opening. Great content and fantastic delivery.
