Managerial Development for the 21st Century

The two levels of leadership-C suite and local manager- require the same, yet also quite different needs due to their roles and responsibilities. My reference is to the local manager, as engagement is a primary responsibility to his/her workgroup.
A toxic department in the Value Chain creates opportunity for silos, waste, inefficiencies, turnover, custom issues and more. Engagement is best served at the department level, each manager has a need to become aware of their behaviors, feedback mechanisms, developmental needs, support, alignment to the people, the leadership and the organization, and more.
The need is for assessment, data, feedback tools, so managers know exactly what they need to do to adapt. Company strategies need to en nimble, but so do the managers. Managerial development for the 21st century is a key to this engagement topic. So, in practice, we capture data with diagnostic tools designed to capture and illuminate the alignment of each manager to both the workforce, and to the alignment to the business, it's customers, processes, leadership and more. Even training internal teams to help mentor the managers in larger organization have proven to be cost efficient to the client
