How can you consistently perform at your peak?

According to a recent Harvard Business Review Study, the most enduringly successful companies, those delivering a 10-fold return to investors over a ten year period, excel at specific management practices.

That makes sense to us.

Your company’s ability to create, execute, and sustain a competitive advantage depends greatly on the quality and depth of your management capabilities at all levels.

Yet, the majority of business leaders see large skill gaps in their management teams — especially for new and mid-level managers. In fact the latest HR Trends report from McLean & Company found that 90% of respondents rated their organizations as having management skill gaps. And first time leaders had the largest skill gaps.

According to executives, managers must be able to positively navigate seven key management challenges:

Transitioning from individual contributor to people manager.
Creating consistent management and performance management practices.
Increasing employee performance, engagement, and career development.
Reducing employee relations issues.
Ensuring legal compliance.
Attracting and retaining top talent.
Responding to changing business needs.

In sum, effective managers get things done through people. They deftly use management tools and skills to define, create, and nurture high performance. They ensure their teams work together in relative harmony to solve problems in a timely fashion while achieving clearly stated goals.

They provide meaningful work for people, invest in people’s career advancement and skill development, and ensure proportionate rewards and recognitions.

LSA’s research-backed management training programs are proven to help managers “get things done through people” to increase performance, employee engagement, employee retention, and employee relations while helping organizations to grow revenue and decrease costs.
