You want to advance your middle managers to the executive level but there are crucial gaps…
Hi, this is Francis. I have worked with a host of organizations in the Caribbean who have struggled to prepare their managers.
If you’re like top executives I have met, you have created an environment in which talent has found its way to middle management. Now it’s time to develop some bench-strength: executives-in-waiting. These are managers who have everything they need to move to the C-Suite. Having such a list would allow you to assure the future of your organization and also relax a bit. A key objective has been met.
But if you’re like most, you don’t have a trusted process to develop managers into executives.
It takes time: this is not a manner of taking a weekend leadership course or reading a bestseller. Also, you realize that an MBA might help, but learning stuff from academics to pass exams leads to knowledge, but not actual skill.
Consider the Crestcom programs, specially customized for Caribbean managers.
The idea is simple: 12 months of on-the-job practical subject matter and ROI project coaching, all done inside your organization with a cohort of regional managers. Here are a few key features.
12 months of training, every two weeks for 2 hours
Your manager joins a cohort of Caribbean managers from top companies – virtually. Every two weeks, for a year, they join an interactive, facilitated discussion on a single topic.
Here is a list of courses in a past curriculum. Each year, the lineup is updated to reflect the latest trends in management thinking and practice.
1 Communication
2 Customer Focus
3 Decision Making
4 Delegation
5 Developing Productive Teams
6 Leading Through Change
7 Managing Energy & Time
8 Negotiation
9 Planning & Prioritizing
10 Strategic Thinking
Your manager receives in-depth exposure from subject matter experts with real-world experience. This means that not a moment is wasted on theory that cannot be applied in immediately.
ROI Coaching
Between sessions, participants launch projects and activities tied to the above topics. These are intra-organization initiatives approved by your company executives, coached by a Crestcom expert. They are designed to give hands-on experience and provide you with a visible return on investment.
It all translates into practical value – the cornerstone of the Crestcom approach to skill building for the executive suite.
Accountability Meetings
Periodically, your participant meets with their coach and an executive from your organization to discuss their progress, and the projects being implemented.
This assures their success. We keep them accountable by helping you track their progress and set expectations, making it easy for them to grow as would-be executives.
There’s more…
This is just the beginning of all the ways the programme is designed to produce results in your company, but more importantly…in the life of the participant.
What’s next? You can find out more about Crestcom from their global website.
Or, contact us for a list of Caribbean clients. Or ask about the 90-day money-back guarantee.
But the best way to get your questions answered is to reach out directly. Use the contact form here and I’ll set up a phone call with the head of the Caribbean region so she can share what hundreds of participants have experienced.
Don’t hesitate,
Francis
