The company was growing quickly and facing increased risk from newly promoted and inexperienced people managers who had strong technical competence and weak people management skills. Recent organizational culture assessment data found that too many managers were overwhelmed by increased pressure to rapidly scale which caused them to:

delay decisions
treat employees unfairly
struggle to implement performance management basics
Not have enough courage and respect to effectively lead, manage, and coach their teams to high performance and engagement

The customized management development program, called Managing for Excellence, was based upon our managing with the law workshop. The objective was to teach managers how to achieve excellent technical and business results through the effective direction of others while simultaneously increasing employee engagement, diminishing the legal risks associated with inadequate and inconsistent performance feedback, and driving higher team collaboration.

Key areas of emphasis included:

Developing constructive communication skills
Improving individual productivity
Accelerating decision making
Increasing team effectiveness and collaboration
Preventing discrimination
Using company values to guide decisions
Utilizing performance management best practices
Designing individual development planning tools
Implementing performance improvement plans
