Management Training
for Middle Managers

Mid-level management provides the backbone for large organizations.

Just as the spine keeps a human body aligned and in balance, middle managers maintain organizational alignment and balance.

Among other things, they must balance

  • leadership vision with worker needs
  • strategic direction with operational capability
  • competing priorities with resource constraints

Duties like this demand markedly different skillsets from those that make frontline managers successful. LeaderPerfect® management training has instilled these middle management skills since 2001.

Communication Skills for Managers

The lifeblood of leadership and management is communication.

One of management's primary roles is to assure a smooth flow of communication vertically, laterally, and interpersonally.

Problems in that flow always impact management effectiveness adversely. They also contribute to low worker morale and engagement.

0ur founder, Dr. Mike Armour, has been a certified master trainer and a trainer trainer in business communication for 30 years.

Using proprietary models, he brings insights to communication training that you will find nowhere else.

Customized Management Training

At every management level, certain skillsets make the difference between mediocre performance and resounding success.

These vital management skills are similar across all industries and professions. But how best to apply them may differ significantly from one corporate context or business environment to another.

When you work with SLDI, we customize our management trainings to take these differences into account. We tailor-make every training session to your specific corporate and industry needs.

And we regularly design management trainings from scratch in order to conform with an organization's management requirements. We can design and develop customized classes on most management topics.

Other Vital Trainings for Managers

Here are training themes on which we are regularly asked to design thoroughly customized training experiences. (Click on any item for an expanded description.)

►  Building a High-Trust Organization

At the heart of any well-tuned, top-performing organization is a high degree of trust. It's also the catalyst for maximizing agility, speed, and innovation in any organization.

LeaderPerfect® training shows managers practical, straight-forward steps to take in order to build trust both within their organization and in them personally as managers.

Managers learn the five things that their people must feel in order for trust to prevail. And they examine seven personal characteristics that they must embody in order to be trusted leaders.

►  Enhancing Emotional Intelligence and People Skills

Managers who come into their role from technical, engineering, or analytical backgrounds often struggle in their early management career because of weakness in their people skills.

In many cases they chose a techinical, engineering, or analytical career in the first case because they were more drawn to working with things than with people.

SLDI provides crash-course training to help managers gain a deeper understanding of what "makes their people tick." In addition, our LeaderPerfect® trainings show them how to create the kind of emotional energy fields in their organization that are most conducive to innovation, collaboration, and peak-peformance.
