This global biotechnology company is experiencing 15% year-over-year growth and needed new and inexperienced people managers to be able to better lead, manage, and coach their teams through growth and change.  Based upon new manager training best practices, people manager assessment data, and project post mortem feedback, the highly customized Management Training for Scientists was designed to address the myths, challenges, and success factors related to creating the conditions for teams to do their best work together.

The experiential action learning leadership development program helped new and inexperienced managers to better influence others to get cross functional projects done in a fast-paced and highly matrixed environment across all levels of the organization. They learned that influence comes from how others experience them as leaders. They focused on how to lead in every day interactions (not just high stakes situations) in the areas of: trustworthiness, credibility, confidence, knowledge, authenticity, and passion.
