Managing Teams & Succession Planning | October 25, 2023

Registration closes at 11:55 p.m. Eastern on October 23, 2023.

In this session, you will explore the following:

• Beware the culture of “nice”: Many leaders want to take a positive approach to managing their team members, but some lean so heavily on a “culture of nice” that it creates unintended consequences that can negatively impact team morale. We’ll explore how to set the right balance to give team members the clear direction they crave.
• Five levels of listening: Not all listening is created equal, and not all situations require the same level of listening. Learn to listen for what employees aren’t saying and when to hold off on going into problem-solving mode.
• Beyond an open-door policy: As a manager, you will never hear everything going on with your team. We’ll explore how to build approachability so that your team members feel safe when they need to bring you bad news.
• Offboarding: It doesn’t have to be a mad scramble when team members leave. Build a plan for these inevitable transitions. Also, learn how to use a departure to reinvigorate the team by reconfiguring responsibilities that leverage current strengths and giving team members new ways to grow.
