Frontline Leaders Training

Registration for this leadership skills learning series is now closed. If you would like information on our next training date, contact registration@catalystconnection.org.

Frontline managers are the linchpins that connect strategy to execution, and they do this by directly supervising 80% of the workforce. These leaders are the defining factor between success and failure, and they need help. Did you know:

• One in three employees said they don’t consider their boss to be effective
• One in two employees have left a job to get away from their manager

These statistics aren’t surprising considering that 60% of frontline leaders have never received training for the role. There are no short cuts to building better leaders, but there is a way for leaders to develop into the skilled and effective boss that employees respect and want to work for.

Catalyst Connection in partnership with DDI’s Interaction Management^® (IM) is offering a learning series that develops the critical interpersonal and leadership skills that managers at the frontline need to be effective. A study across 40+ years of research proves that IM has a positive impact on leaders, employees, and the business. The research shows that:

• 81% of direct reports whose leader attended IM^® reported increased engagement.
• 5 of out 10 clients report that DDI solutions lead to measurable change and sustainable outcomes year after year.
• 77% of organizations report decreased turnover.
