Tips for Training Managers

• Train them on specific topics:

“Ultimately, managers have one job: Hire the best talent and continuously engage them Managers know who's talented And they

know (or should know) who's unhappy with their current situation If they

don't meet the basic psychological needs of their most talented employees, they squander years of performance gains At worst, they

lose their talent (and whoever leaves with them) to their competitors.”

-Gallup, 2018
