You Need Us When
- People have been promoted for their individual accomplishments and technical skills, not their leadership abilities.
- Your best employees start looking and leaving, draining your talent pipeline.
- The cost of replacing failed managers has become untenable, beginning at 150% of salary for each failure.
- Morale and engagement has started to crater, and you face years of recovery time.
- Senior leaders spend valuable time on high-maintenance managers who cause more problems than they solve.
- Opportunity costs have started to pile up as legal, human resources and other departments are called in.
- It has taken months to discover the depth of the problem, more months to document the problem and even more months to do something about it.
- Productivity has fallen or flattened, and the problem has become hard to hide.
Little or no preparation has been given to people moving into leadership roles. - New managers have been thrown into important positions to sink or swim, without tools or support.
You can’t afford this and you don’t have to.
