      Management Intensive

      2020

      led by Anne Libby

       

       

    •  

      You've been a team leader for several years, or several weeks.


      Maybe you discuss "people" challenges with a friend, partner, experienced relative, or manager.

      You've been searching online, in books, on podcasts.

       

      There must be better ways to do things. To learn this skill.

       

      To level up, especially now.

       

      You're an emerging manager, and you don't have to learn alone.

       

      Join the next cohort of my small group learning program.

      I've designed this program for you. Based on       how people actually learn to manage.

    • Managers/Team Leads

      "Even though I had read the syllabus (so I thought I knew what was being covered) I found that Anne was able to pull apart a lot of projections and assumptions that I'd been making. By the end of each session, I remember feeling like I understood the content in a more nuanced way, and also had an idea of how to start putting new ideas into practice—rather than just rejecting management outright."

       

      Is my program for you? Let's talk.

      People/HR leads

      "Anne was an invaluable resource to many of our fledgling managers during a time of rapid growth. Her training and coaching sessions laid a terrific foundation, and by starting there, she developed relationships with employees that were long-lasting and trust-filled....As new challenges and opportunities arose, she was a source of support, wisdom, and perspective on matters across people ops, culture, and management."

      I've run programs for organizations, too.
       

    • The Intensive = 6 Weekday Mornings

       

      Interactive remote learning for emerging managers.

      (What's an emerging manager?)

      Cohort size is limited.

       

      We'll meet once weekly, early-ish, for 6 weeks.

      You'll meet weekly with me 1:1, too.

      Anyone can learn to be a good manager. Yes, "anyone" means you. With time, effort, practice and desire -- and not a little bit of organizational support, and expert guidance.

    • FAQ

      Don't see your question? Please let me know.

       

      How much time will I have to spend on this?

      If you're super-achivement-oriented, few hours a week, between program sessions, 1:1s and reading/homework.

       

      For the most part, instead of spending extra time, I want you to recast the way you view -- and possibly do -- your existing work. To think about things you're already thinking about. Differently.

       

      Most recommended readings are brief articles. Things you can read in <20 minutes.

       

      How do the 1:1s work?

      The 1:1s are customized discussions, based on your own current situation.

       

      They're a time for me to help you to meet the material, where you are! Logistically, the 1:1s are available with me via Zoom, generally the same day as program sessions.

       

      Assignments -- that sounds like homework! Can you share them with me?

      Program topics and syllabus are posted here. Participants come to the program with different experiences. Every group has a different flavor, this sets the stage for any assignments; they don't really stand alone.

       

      Similarly, though I work from my outline and desired outcomes, program sessions unfold according to the specific needs each group reveals in the course of discussion.

       

      Early-ish? What do you mean, and/or are you kidding me?

      "First thing in the morning," imo, is an insurance policy against the ravages of the day. After past evening briefings and workshops, I've heard from people who didn't make it -- once the day starts, there are 99 reasons for your day to be taken away from you.
       

      Can you run a program like this for a group of managers at our organization?

      Yes. I'd love to talk with you about it.

       

      When will the IRL program return?

      I don't know. Please reach out if you have questions.

       

      I don't see my question here...

      Just ask.
