Managing People. . . as people

June 22, 2021 @ 8:00am ET 

Brought to you by Columbus Together Digital

Join us for a panel discussion on leadership and learn ways to build stronger teams, create a growth culture, and effectively manage up.

 

If you ask people why they leave their jobs it’s often 1 of 3 answers:

  1. The job wasn’t enjoyable 
  2. Their strengths weren’t being used 
  3. They weren’t able to grow in their careers

Who’s responsible for those basic needs? The manager. 

study done by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) in August of 2020 confirmed that employees leave their roles with companies because of managers, not the companies themselves. Additionally, 84% of US workers say poorly trained managers create a lot of unnecessary work and stress. And this report by SHRM from 2019 estimates that U.S. companies have lost $223 billion due to culture-caused turnover. 

No pressure managers. You also have to meet goals set by your higher-ups.

 

So what can someone do to create and grow a team that thrives as individuals while hitting, or surpassing, objectives and goals? Listen in as these amazing team building women share their wisdom and lessons learned.

What you’ll learn:

  • How to prepare yourself to be in a manager role
  • Building a team that focuses on strengths
  • Creating a growth culture and managing up

Our monthly events are FREE for members.
