Managers need to develop workers with exceptional talents, skills and attitudes to maximize team performance and this course teaches you how.
In the second part of the course, we demonstrate how to correctly identify talent. This includes attention to the role that skill-based compensation can play in motivating people. We examine different roles played by managers and various leadership models, including Fiedler’s Contingency and the Hersey-Blanchard approach, to help you develop your own people- and production-oriented leadership style.
