Managers have a direct impact on the engagement and retention levels of employees. In fact, research shows that managers are primarily responsible for their employees’ engagement levels. As individuals get promoted and reach higher levels of management and leadership, they often have less time to focus on their own development. Investing in the development of managers has a positive organizational-wide impact, including raising managers’ own engagement levels.

Through important learnings from the CliftonStrengths assessment, managers are coached on how to leverage their strengths to become highly effective and masterful managers. Through the coaching experience with adelante, managers at all levels have the opportunity to: 

• To raise their awareness and appreciation of their natural talents and transform them into high performing strengths
• To study how they might be overusing their strengths and how to use their strengths to manage areas of weakness. 
• To learn how to better support and develop the strengths of their direct reports and teams.
• To learn effective coaching strategies to bring out the best in their direct reports and successfully navigate performance issues.
• And much more!
