Managing Managers: How To Lead Them To Create A Culture Of Accountability

Managing managers poses unique challenges, especially when it comes to cultivating a culture of accountability. The leadership team of any organization sets the tone for accountability – the actions of leaders determine whether the supervisors they manage feel a sense of accountability themselves, as well as whether they hold their employees accountable.

As a department head, regional manager, executive, HR professional, business owner, or other professional who oversees or works closely with those who manage employees, the way you lead your direct reports will directly impact how they supervise their own teams.

Attend this informative session and learn what accountability really means in the context of a business, along with best practices for managing managers when your goal is to improve accountability. Discover common myths about managing managers and how such perceptions can create barriers to accountability. Find out how to overcome these barriers and empower your direct reports to incorporate accountability into their teams for improved organizational results.

Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.

The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form of training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!

And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.

Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions.
