A New Way of Business Leadership: Manager Trainings and Micro-Learnings to Support Retention and Employee Engagement

• Avoiding the Great Recession with Micro-Learning Management Training
• Don’t Promote into Failure: New Training Program Develops People Leaders with 10-Minute Micro-Learnings
• Awesome People Leaders™ Launches its Online Training for Managers to Create and Sustain High-Performing Teams

The last few years paved way for one of the most powerful dynamic shifts in decades from employers to employees. This creates space for many small and medium size businesses to transform with a way of ‘being’ instead of the ‘doing business’ mindset. Awesome People Leaders (APL) launches to help businesses accelerate growth with foundational leadership skills development, create and nurture high-performing teams, and improve business success.

Small to medium sized businesses suffer when newly promoted leaders don’t have the right skills. The manager role is often dangled as an incentive regardless of whether the person has the right skills to lead people, there is a lack of training and development around leadership, and businesses don’t have the bandwidth to onboard multiple leaders at the same time. Awesome People Leaders (APL) launches with an innovative approach to training and development, offering 10-minute micro-learnings to help businesses accelerate growth with foundational leadership skills development, create and nurture high-performing teams, and improve business success.

“Businesses have a prime opportunity right now to deliver internally to their teams and I believe managers play the most important role in a company,” said Polivka. “Companies that successfully deliver internally can yield higher results externally with their customers in 2022.”

Supporting this internal shift can reduce turnover and lead to increases shown as high as 21percent in productivity, 22 percent in profitability, and 10 percent in customer satisfaction rates.

“It truly could not have come at a better time. I’m feeling more empowered navigating my first managerial role with these tools in my back pocket. It’s such a relief to know I have these tools and this community to turn to for ideas and feedback,” shares Christine F., an APL participant.

Polivka shares, “It’s my hope APL is the bridge for businesses to reframe leadership mindset, create resourcefulness, and embrace this new era of digital expansion with humanity, innovation, and awesome leaders.”
