To assume managers will figure out on their own how to support their own workplace learning is not realistic. In today's workplace, managers are overburdened. This results in being overworked and conducting many tasks superficially. The resulting chaotic nature of a manager's work environment makes the job very complex and challenging.The philosophy of "learn as you go" becomes increasingly difficult to tolerate, because managers are required to balance the immediate demands of the organization against the needs of their employees.Through this book has been written for individuals who are thinking about becoming a manager and existing managers alike. You will learn:
- Why leadership training fails.
- The difference between being a leader and manager and why both competencies are critical to develop.
- How to develop the mindset and skills in being an exceptional leader.
- How to structure the workplace as an enriched learning environment for leadership and managerial development.
Dr. Pagonis' goal for this book is that people, especially leaders in top ranks, will be motivated to create a workplace environment where managers are supported and encouraged to embrace their vulnerability and develop their emotional intelligence. Dr. Pagonis is the owner of the leadership consulting firm, Sinogap Solutions. She has 20 years' experience in leadership and organizational development gained throughout her professional and academic career.
