With the Great Resignation or the Big Quit, organizations have quickly responded to bolster their recruiting efforts, increase compensation, and add benefits, but this is a mistake. Where they are missing the mark is evaluating the leadership of their managers and implementing development programs. People do not leave organizations, they leave poor managers. Yet, organizations seem to invest least in MDPs, while managers take on one of the most difficult albeit important jobs...managing up, down, and sideways. In Dr. Marlon Sukal’s 15 years of consulting, one of his main deliverables for clients was developing MDPs which he’s come to realize are very similar across industries, size of team, and level of manager.

Key Takeaways

  • Assessing what managers need to be successful...it is more common than you think
  • Developing and implementing the programs...it is not just training.
  • Getting buy in from everyone across the organization
  • Evaluating the program--this is most crucial but seldom ever done!
  • Ensuring application through learning transference and sustainability...making it stick.
