Managers
Managers and leaders are charged with directing, encouraging, governing, and are often accountable for the successful accomplishment of the work in a group, team, or division. They are also key factors in how the organization is understood by employees. Employees are hired by the organization, but the most frequent reason they leave is because of the manager they work with.
The Odyssey Group works with your managers, from emerging leaders to top-level executive to ensure that they have the knowledge, skill, and technique to deliver the results you need. We provide the opportunity for them learn, develop, and refine their abilities in skill areas such as performance management, coaching, delegating, development planning, facilitation skills, team development and team building, providing feedback, and mentoring.
Our expertise in custom design ensures that any workshop has your organization and your managers at its core. We know that your managers' time is valuable, and our workshops and programs ensure that their time is well used, in our workshops and when they return to the job. Every workshop includes an action plan so that participants leave with clarity about how to use the knowledge and skills in their work. You will see the difference.
