the 27 challenges managers face
Step-by-Step Solutions to (Nearly) All of Your Management Problems
In hundreds of advanced management seminars, Bruce Tulgan has taken experienced leaders through one problem-solving session after another, focusing on one real life case study after another: “Who are the employees you are really struggling with? What are the really tough cases?”
Like clockwork, the same basic cases come up over and over again—the same 27— maybe it’s the superstar the manager is afraid of losing, the slacker the manager cannot figure out how to motivate, the one with an attitude problem, or the two who cannot get along. From decades of research, Bruce has identified the most frequent and toughest challenges managers face and the best step-by-step solutions.
Of course, different challenges require different approaches. What’s astounding, however, is how many of these challenges—even the most difficult—fall away when managers really commit to high-structure, high-substance communication.
In this program, Bruce draws on decades of research, sharing true stories from real managers, blending humor, insight, and concrete best-practices to show participants how to apply the management fundamentals to the challenges managers most often face.
