If you are not actively developing your team, you are just supervising tasks, not truly managing.
Why this module
Most managers are decent at chasing KPIs but fail at developing people. The result? Teams hit short-term numbers but never grow the capacity to take on bigger challenges.
You will learn how to identify real skill gaps, build Individual Development Plans (IDPs) that actually get followed, and use development as a tool to retain and motivate your best people.

The program was interactive and immediately applicable to my role as a manager.
