Management Vitals™

Engaging Training for Effective Managers

CONTACT FLASHPOINT ABOUT MANAGEMENT VITALS

Management Vitals™, a FlashPoint original program, equips managers with the fundamentals of management so your employees are engaged and can perform to their fullest potential. By better managing self, individuals on their team, and the team as a whole, your managers will meet any challenge that might arise on the team’s journey.

Getting management training right is a critical need for any organization. No other role commands such a critical leverage point for why employees thrive, or leave, an organization.

Often, managers are promoted because of technical skills, but strong people skills—such as communication, self-awareness, coaching, goal setting, and feedback—are the day-to-day skills managers must master in order to be effective. 

Management Vitals™ equips managers with the fundamentals of management so your employees are engaged and can perform to their fullest potential.

What is Management Vitals™?

CONTACT FLASHPOINT ABOUT MANAGEMENT VITALS

Management Vitals™ equips leaders with the practical fundamentals of management, delivered virtually or in-person.

FlashPoint’s Management Vitals™ program uses a blend of activities and discussion to teach managers the skills they need to effectively manage direct reports and teams.

Management Vitals™ begins by establishing a foundation in self-leadership with a deep understanding of the role of manager and the essential skills needed for effective management.

The program then progresses to mastering the outward skills of goal setting and effective feedback, followed by ensuring managers are better equipped to meet organizational goals, improve team culture, and master coaching for results. Participants learn to:

• MANAGING SELF: We begin with understanding the role of a manager in an organization. Participants gain self-awareness and learn how to communicate more assertively.

• MANAGING OTHERS: In order to achieve results, participants learn to align employees around a common set of goals and how to provide effective feedback.

• MANAGING TEAMS: To lead teams toward organizational goals, participants learn to assess their team’s strengths and opportunities, create strategies to foster greater team cohesion, and manage through inevitable conflicts.

• MANAGING CHANGE: To bring all these skills together, participants explore navigating change and uncertainty, and fine-tune their coaching skills through powerful questions and active listening.

Our facilitators are able to skillfully keep participants engaged and encourage focused application of learnings back on the job. They know from their own experience in the manager's chair how participants may need to improve and are able to unlock the ability to progress forward.
