About this listen
So, what's this book about?
You’ll find a contemporary approach to developing managers explained, all in concise, plain language. The focus is on helping you design, produce, and deploy a program that really delivers.
You’ll understand what makes great online learning, along with how to blend it in with group sessions and coaching and mentoring (remotely and face-to-face).
It’s all driven by the need for modern organizations to be flexible, responsive, and, above all, measure the impact of what they do.
This book is for you if you:
- Need your managers to be better, and measure it
- Need to upskill managers with less money, resource, and time
- Want the best bits of 25 years of experience in designing learning that works
This book isn’t for you if you:
- Know your organization's people management skills couldn't be any better, and that you’ve measured it
- Have unlimited budget, time, and resources to deliver a management development program
- Are an absolute expert in online learning
This audio book is a great listen for multiple professionals across multiple sectors. Whether you're part of an L&D team, a manager / CEO / business owner, or someone who works in HR.
I found the information about different competencies particularly enlightening. In a nutshell, there are seven areas to assess your people managers on (team working, communication, adapting to change, relationships, planning and organising, ability to analyse, and delivering results), and 69 behaviours within these. Understanding this and knowing how to work it to your advantage could be a bit of a game-changer when it comes to assessing your managers' abilities and bolstering your business.
Pete goes into granular detail across so many areas within people management (e.g. immersive learning, tailoring L&D to different generations / learning styles, how to communicate with the board), but the information never feels overwhelming or confusing. You're left with a real sense of inspiration, confidence and direction.
In short: real food for thought. If you can, have a notebook handy to jot down thoughts and timestamps of significance. There are plenty of them.
