Overview
Most managers were never actually taught how to manage.
You were promoted because you were great at the work, then handed a team and expected to figure out the rest. The result is managers who are capable at their craft but underprepared for the complexity of leading people, making decisions under pressure, and moving a team forward without burning everyone out, including themselves.
Through this training, we’ve identified the 4 phases you will use to interrupt this cycle and become the great manager you’ve always intended to be!
Learning Outcomes
Managers will be able to utilize a clear framework for managing individuals and teams toward collective goals.
Managers will demonstrate proficiency in decision-making frameworks, appraising & avoiding bottlenecks in projects, and building decision structures that work for their teams.
Managers will leave the session with a practical toolkit including a Difficult Conversations Guide, Feedback Delivery Tool, sample Decision Making Matrix, Weekly 1:1 Template, and more!
The Connected Managers' Playbook
-
The conversations managers avoid are almost always the ones their teams are waiting for.
This guide is a structured approach to difficult conversations; how to prepare, how to open, how to stay grounded when the conversation gets uncomfortable, and how to close in a way that moves the relationship forward rather than leaving both people dreading the next interaction.
-
Feedback is the most underutilized management tool in most organizations, because managers are rarely taught how to deliver it in a way that changes behavior.
Above is a repeatable feedback structure that is specific, timely, and grounded in observable behavior rather than personality or assumption.
-
Most bottlenecks are caused by unclear decision structures that leave teams waiting, guessing, or working in conflict with one another.
This practical framework for categorizing decisions by type, clarifying who needs to be involved and at what level, and communicating decisions in ways that create buy-in.
-
Establishing a true cadence and content consistency for 1:1s is the difference between dysfunctional, unproductive teams and units that move goals forward with healthy team chemistry.
This template includes specific sections on cross-level feedback, navigating big rocks, bottleneck identifiers, and space for all parties to spot issues before they become fires.
-
A simple, consistent set of three to five questions sent to your team on a weekly or biweekly cadence.
A lightweight, repeatable practice that gives managers real-time visibility into team morale, clarity, and engagement before small disconnects become serious problems.
-
A structured reflection framework managers complete before each quarterly review cycle.
A set of diagnostic questions for managers to assess each individual relationship on their team.
“When did I last ask this person what's getting in their way? Do I know what motivates them beyond their job description? Have I given them feedback recently that was specific and actionable?”
