Leading Through People™ Series

• Consider this:
  • According to Glassdoor.com, leadership and culture are the Top Two factors for attracting and retaining talent, ranking three times more important than money.
  • Gallup, in their recent research, the State of the American Manager, reported among US adult workers that “at some point in their career, one in two employees left their job to get away from their manager.”
  • It costs just a small fraction to equip managers to lead effectively, versus what it costs to replace the good talent bad managers cause to leave.

Since 1998 we’ve worked with some of the world’s most successful companies to equip their supervisors, managers, directors, and vice presidents with the current and emerging best practices of leadership and management. With more than 10,000 managers trained worldwide across a broad spectrum of leadership and management disciplines, Leading Through People™ continues to be our most in-demand training series. In 2015 we began offering our entire series as individual topical modules that can be configured to meet any organization’s unique needs. Most modules include the use of pre- or in-session assessments as part of our diagnostic-prescriptive design.
