As many as 82% of new managers have had no formal management or leadership training and are what the CMI calls “accidental managers”. The same study revealed the impact of this: almost a third of workers have left a job because of a negative relationship with their manager.
Our Manager Accelerator Programme is a 6-session hands-on learning programme which breaks down the essential elements to managing and leading. We work with organisations of all shapes and sizes, taking cohorts of ~12 people at a time on the journey.
