So How Do You Become A Better Manager?

Well, you might be lucky and have easy access to learning and development in your organisation.

But if you did you probably wouldn’t be here.

So how do you differentiate amongst the many options that exist online and decide what would work?

That’s where we come in.

You develop every day, even though you may not be aware of it

But are you developing habits that keep you stuck, or new skills that grow your capability?

Our research has discovered that most great managers take control of their own development by creating and maintaining an effective development plan.

The REFLECT, PLAN, ACT model is good as far as it goes … but the managers in control of their own development use something with more depth.

This led us to discover the 5Ws of Management Mastery and develop the Quaternion Profile as a comprehensive structure for learning what’s required.

We developed a comprehensive system to achieve mastery in specific behaviours and competencies

Worried that taking control of your development will add pressure on time that’s already scarce?

Relax. Our approach is quite the opposite. We like to make things easier!

We help you to:

  • Make better use of everyday work to build your skills – around 70% of talent is acquired that way

  • Capitalise on your interactions with others, learning from them as you go – around 20% of talent is acquired that way

The remaining 10% is split between:

  • Choosing the skills that you are going to develop and refine

  • Becoming more efficient, focusing your effort on doing things in the smartest way and relying less on sheer effort

  • Becoming more effective, focusing on those things that are really important, and gaining more credibility and recognition

The Challenge of Managing and Leading Others:

The role of manager or leader is arrived at through personal achievement rather than a known capability to manage or lead.

Significant personal work demands remain, even though there are demanding new people management responsibilities to deal with. 

Which means four fundamentally different skill sets are required: Management, Personal Effectiveness, Business Acumen and Leadership.

But typically organisations have competing challenges:

A tight learning and development budget.

Additional priorities of: health and safety, regulatory / compliance issues, job-specific training needs, employee well-being, diversity and inclusion, high potentials (HiPo’s).

A struggle to support management and leadership development.

Reconciling those two issues is where we come in!
