About this course

Overview and Outcomes.

Overview

Good managers often hit a ceiling because the habits that earned their promotion start to hold them back. Drawing on Marshall Goldsmith's What Got You Here Won't Get You There and Satya Nadella's culture shift at Microsoft, this module sets out the four disciplines of excellent managers and shows why the step up means working differently, not harder, once your impact depends on others. Self awareness is a practice to return to, not a profile completed once and filed away. This module brings together Honey and Mumford's learning styles, Broadwell's Conscious Competence model and Luft and Ingham's Johari Window, with Ray Dalio's radical transparency as an extreme example, to help you coach people in the way they learn, pass on skills that have become automatic and close your own blind spot.

What you'll develop

In this Bitesize, you will develop the ability to:

  1. Explain why habits that earned your promotion, such as winning too much and adding too much value, can limit you once your impact depends on others.
  2. Distinguish a good manager from an excellent one using the four disciplines of self awareness, personal effectiveness, managing upward and across, and developing others.
  3. Assess whether you are working harder or working differently, using the three signs set out in the module.
  4. Use Honey and Mumford's four learning styles to choose development that sticks for you and to coach each team member in the way they learn.
  5. Apply the Conscious Competence model to slow down and make your own automatic skills explicit enough to pass on.
