Growing as a leader

The development of an operation goes hand in hand with management and staff development. Every manager plays a key role in that development.

One essential factor for managers to succeed in developing the operation, themselves and their staff is that the senior management is clear about the role of a manager in the organization.

Other prerequisites are that the role is clear, that there are clear mandates and a clearly defined area of responsibility.

An understanding of the manager’s own role is essential. The role defines the manager’s scope for action and reflects the expectations of the staff.

Impact has experience from a large number of assignments, past and present, where operational and managerial development has taken the business to the next level.

The feedback we get from assignments where we have integrated operational and leadership development is that managers have become more confident in their role as leaders, and that the operational areas in which these managers are involved have seen a clear improvement in results.

Growing as a leader means having your role as a leader challenged and making continuous efforts to improve your own operation.
