The Modern Manager

Essential Skills for Inclusive Leaders

McKinsey, Forbes, and Harvard all have confirmed that a new style of leadership has emerged to address our volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous business world (VUCA).  Amy Edmonson, author of the Fearless Organization (among others) has gone one step further to describe some critical behaviours that Managers should add into their leadership. Our program blends those psychological safe principles with building emotional intelligence throughout the sessions and in 1:1 coaching.

We believe modern managers are more collaborative, humble, inclusive, diverse, and promote psychologically safe spaces. Modern managers coach performance versus direct it, focus on alignment versus compliance and knows that ‘teaming’ is essential to meet client needs.  Inquire about our Virtual Leader Program if you are looking for a more targeted version of Modern Management.
