Nationally, 85% of managers receive no training prior to stepping into their new role. This despite managers being the critical lynchpin in operationalizing organizational strategy. It is no wonder that managers struggle, with 60% of new managers failing. Managers are TCU's most critical asset - impacting productivity, project completion, team engagement, and employee retention. The Manager Foundations program is designed to address this void, developing practical manager skills whether the manager has been in their role for weeks or decades. Training includes topics such as: Setting a Foundation, Social Awareness & Relationship Building, Communication & Feedback, and Manager & Team Growth.
