STEPPING UP TO MANAGEMENT TM An online learning program from Harvard Business Publishing ECO CANADA
STEPPING UP TO MANAGEMENT an online learning program from Harvard Business Publishing Is designed to prepare professionals for a management career path by developing transferable people management and leadership skills. Delivered online, the comprehensive program has an environmentally focused curriculum consisting of 8 targeted modules that are prioritized according to the employee s training needs and role requirements. WHY INVEST IN MANAGER TRAINING? Studies have shown that up to 40% of new management hires fail within their first 18 months. This failure is often due to a lack of training and support during the transition to a more challenging management role. The average organization is losing an amount equal to 7% of its annual sales because of poor leadership. That s more than $1 million dollars per year for an organization with $15 million or more in annual sales. As many as 90% of all managers fail to carry out their primary responsibilities: creating and implementing strategy and fueling innovation. Why? They lack focus and energy, avoid complex challenges in favor of busywork, and don t delegate effectively.
