Overview
Effective People Management
Have you ever witnessed talented individuals being promoted within an organization, only to struggle with their new responsibilities as people managers? It’s a common scenario: a high-performing executive transitions into a managerial role, yet finds it challenging to meet expectations in managing a team. Surprisingly, many of these professionals have never received formal training in people management or motivation, leaving them to navigate this “black art” without guidance. For those who come from technical or task-oriented backgrounds, developing people skills may not come naturally. However, the success of their teams—and, by extension, the organization—now hinges on their ability to lead effectively.Does this resonate with you? At Amaze™, we understand this challenge deeply. A recent survey revealed that 76% of managers in Ireland believe that enhancing their practical people management skills would significantly boost their contributions to their companies. Fortunately, we offer a practical solution designed specifically for this need.
