    Help your new Managers and Team Leaders get the skills and knowledge they need to become truly successful leaders.

    Have you promoted high-performing individuals into Team Leader and Supervisor roles only to find they are 'just average'as leaders? While they have outstanding technical skills, most haven't got the leadership skills they need to succeed in their new role.

    Top performers often struggle in the transition to leadership. They find it hard to delegate, can't understand why people aren't as motivated as they are, and get frustrated when others don't perform tasks to their standard. They often avoid difficult conversations because they fear the other person's reaction and don't know how to handle it.

    To make matters worse, while many feel out of their depth, they don't want to admit this to their boss and look like a failure, which only exacerbates the problem.

    EMERGING LEADERS MATTER

    How capable are your Managers, particularly with their current team and in the challenging climate we are facing? Their effectiveness as leaders is not just dependent on their technical skills but also on their ability to inspire, delegate, influence, and build a genuinely high-performing team.

    Strong leadership isn’t just a ‘nice-to-have’ - it is essential, at all levels for your organisation to succeed. Most businesses have some excellent managers and some mediocre ones – unfortunately, overall success is determined much more by the underperforming managers than by those who excel.

    Research from Gallup shows that businesses with ineffective leaders face significantly higher turnover rates. This not only increases costs in terms of recruitment (assuming you can even find a suitable person!), it also impacts stress levels and the morale of the rest of the team as they cover. The flow on effect of this is more burnout, more absenteeism, lower productivity, lower engagement, and more turnover (or presenteeism). It’s a downward spiral that not only impacts business profitability but also hinders long-term growth and sustainability, even business survival.

    So, what are the critical areas that many managers are weak in? What blindspots do you need to become aware of as a Senior Leader so that you can support and upskill your managers? How specifically can you lift them from mediocre to highly effective?

    Join us for a must-attend Webinar, “Unveiling Blindspots: 9 Reasons Most Managers Are Underperforming” with Diana Tapp, CEO of World Class Teams.

    You'll discover:

    • 9 reasons why most leaders underperform
    • The High-Performance diagnostic to assess the effectiveness of your leaders
    • 3 practical actions you can implement straight away
    • 5 essential skills of world class leaders
    • The critical role Middle Managers play in organisational success
    • Plus get all your questions answered in our live Q&A


    Who should attend:

    • CEO's
    • C-Suite Executives
