Yes! I Need Better Communication Yesterday!
Are day to day tasks getting left in the dusk? Is there a communication breakdown and you don't know where it's going wrong? Are employees leaving because management can't get it together?
Introducing the Management Essentials! Starting with the 101 track Management Essentials is all about giving managers the tools they need to thrive and succeed. At Synthesis Leader our philosophy is that modern management practices and teaching have not adapted to the new, unique pressures that managers face - like how to best manage a hybrid workforce.
Our Management Essentials track is about providing the practical skills that all managers need to be their most successful.
What is it that separates successful and unsuccessful leaders? What does successful leadership look like? What does it mean to excel in leadership?
Learn from a leadership coach of over 20 years on the best and most practical tips for becoming the leader you were meant to be. Where other programs focus on the more ethereal, "feel good" aspects of leadership coaching - we believe in maintaining that feeling while providing real tools and skills that have worked in all realms of leadership - from C-suite Fortune 500 companies to small businesses with less than 10 employees. These leadership skills are what you need to find the direction for yourself and your company.
Management Essentials 101

Management Essentials 101 is designed specifically to give managers the tools they need to succeed in their work. We take proven, practical tools that have worked for companies of all sizes and condense it into a selection of courses designed for their ease of use and application.
