What are the 8 Skills for Management Success™?

8 Skills for Management Success™ is a series of skill development modules and supporting tools, designed to teach managers how to improve their business results by increasing the productivity and effectiveness both of their teams, and of individuals within their teams.

Based on a review of approaches used by global business leaders and leveraging Bill Lang’s Harvard and International business experience, 8 Skills for Management Success™, while valuable as a stand alone series, is particularly powerful when used alongside Bill’s internationally successful team performance management system ‘Scores on the Board™’.

Every manager is both a team coach and an individual skills coach and the concepts and capabilities used by high performing sporting teams, leading organisations and international performance management experts are integrated to underpin this practical and compelling series.

The 8 Skills for Management Success™ can be delivered in a seminar format by accredited facilitators using tailored facilitators’ guides. However, they have been designed as short, simple, self-education modules which can be easily learned by managers at their own pace without disrupting their work day. The modules include learning materials, videos, tools and planners. The 8 Skills for Management Success™ can be customised for organisations by building in links and references to internal learning resources. In some instances, organisations have their own modules that can be adapted into the series if required.

Skills 1 to 4 of the 8 Skills for Management Success™ focus on team development. Skills 5 to 7 focus on individual player development, and the final module Skill 8 considers the integration of team performance with the broader enterprise through the Team Leader’s own Manager.
