What Managers Learn in Fast Track Management Training
Fast Track Management Training gives new and experienced managers practical tools they can use immediately with their teams. In this video, Turning the Corner HR explains the core management skills covered throughout the six session management training program.
Participants learn how to adapt their management style to an employee’s confidence and ability, strengthen emotional intelligence, communicate more effectively, navigate difficult conversations, and give feedback without creating a defensive response.
The program also teaches managers how to run productive one on one meetings, set goals and create accountability, hire people who fit the role and company culture, and onboard new employees successfully.
Fast Track is taught live over 12 weeks, with six two hour sessions held every other week. The format gives managers time to practice what they learn between sessions while building connections with other managers in the cohort.
