Episode Description
Last week, we kicked off our three-part #BuildingBetterManagers series with an overview of the 12 capabilities that we know make a difference to performance. Now we're asking: How do we help managers build those capabilities?
To answer this question, Ross G and Ross D are joined once again by Dr Anna Barnett, from the Mind Tools Insights team, to discuss her recommendations from our latest report: 'Building Better Managers'.
We discuss:
- Evidence-based approaches to improving manager capability
- How Mind Tools factored this evidence into our product design
- An example of a custom management programme that made a measurable difference to manager capabilities.
If you need help building better managers, we can help you measure and improve capability no matter your context. Email [email protected] or visit mindtools.com/business/products/mind-tools-insights to book a meeting.
In 'What I Learned This Week', Ross D discussed the film Tony Hawk: Until The Wheels Fall Off, about the career of Tony Hawk.
Anna discussed the book The Migraine Brain by Carolyn Bernstein.
