Managing Then and Now: Part 1 of Build Better Bosses

In a recent CEO survey, 75% of respondents said they are investing in programs to develop their leaders. They are building better bosses. Why? Because bosses--supervisors and managers--have the most direct impact on employee engagement, which in turn impacts business performance. This is the first in a three part series on building better bosses, adapted from a Vistage white paper on the topic. In this episode, we focus on how managing people has changed. The workplace has changed dramatically, and so have the demands that are placed on bosses. No roles have gone through more change in the last two years than that of bosses. Understanding "managing then vs. managing now" is key for giving bosses the support they need to be successful.
