Are you setting your leaders and managers up for success? According to the recent Investors in People research in partnership with YouGov, and their subsequent report entitled ‘The Broken Ladder’, a staggering 82% of managers receive no formal training to do their job. Known as ‘accidental managers’ most people become managers because they are good at their job, but managing and leading teams is a whole different proposition.
It’s no wonder performance, wellbeing, and retention suffer in organisations today. Good leadership and management are critical to business success. When we leave it to chance, we create inconsistency and a lack of engagement.
Without the right support, managers can feel overwhelmed, stressed, unclear about their goals, and stuck between expectations from above and the needs of their own teams. This can be challenging and demotivating.
At Scholefield, The People Consultancy, we truly believe that great managers are not born but, with the right support, are built.
As an Institute of Leadership and Management (ILM) accredited centre, we have been working with organisations to develop their leaders and managers for nearly 40 years, with huge successes. We offer a wide range of leadership and management ILM qualifications at all levels as well as tailored solutions that meet your specific needs, too.
If you would like to develop your leaders and managers, whether through an ILM qualification or indeed through a bespoke leadership and management programme, we would love to support you.
