WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT AT THE WORKSHOP
Leaders in the era of Big Quit: Five key skills of people management
In the era of the Big Quit, managers have a particularly important role in employee retention and in the success of organizations. Successful managers lead their employees well - they transfer important knowledge, develop them, motivate and manage team processes. On the contrary, bad managers make life miserable for their subordinates, make bad decisions, and cause financial losses to the organizations they work for.
Scientific research data show that at least half of managers are unsuccessful in their work, which results in their resignation or dismissal. The failure of managers most often does not result from insufficient professional knowledge or a lack of intelligence, but precisely from a lack of leadership competencies.
During this workshop, the model of leadership competencies that emerges from our current research will be detailed presented. The five competencies (motivation, development, relationship building, leadership and teamwork) are crucial for leadership success, regardless of the level of hierarchy in the organization and the business sector.
In this workshop you will receive practical advice on how to measure and improve them in the practice of human resources management.
Zvonimir Galić will lead the workshop in collaboration with Maja Parmač Kovačić, a colleague form the Department of Psychology at the of Faculty of Philosophy in Zagreb.
