    401 — What makes a great manager
    Jul 2 2024

    What does good management look like? What skills and capabilities does a manager need? Are you a good manager?

    In this week’s episode of The Mind Tools L&D Podcast, Ross Garner and Owen Ferguson are joined by Dr Anna Barnett, from our own in-house Insights team, to discuss the findings of our latest report: ‘Building Better Managers’.

    In the first of three episodes exploring how we can improve management capability for our people and organizations, we discuss:

    · How we define a ‘good’ manager

    · The capabilities all managers need to perform, no matter their industry

    · How to measure manager capability.

    We’ve used the results of Anna’s research to develop our own manager skills assessment. It can help your managers identify skill gaps, while also giving L&D leaders an insight into critical development areas that exist across their organisations.

    To speak to us about running our management skills assessment with your people, get in touch! Email custom@mindtools.com or visit mindtools.com/business/poducts/mind-tools-insights to book a meeting.

    During the discussion, Anna referenced the following papers:

    Baron-Cohen, S., Wheelwright, S., Hill, J., Raste, Y., & Plumb, I. (2001). The “Reading the Mind in the Eyes” Test revised version: a study with normal adults, and adults with Asperger syndrome or high-functioning autism. The Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry and Allied Disciplines, 42(2), 241-251.

    Carmeli, A., Reiter-Palmon, R., & Ziv, E. (2010). Inclusive leadership and employee involvement in creative tasks in the workplace: The mediating role of psychological safety. Creativity Research Journal, 22(3), 250-260.

    Our report, ‘Building Better Managers’, will be released on July 9.

    In ‘What I Learned This Week’, Owen shared how disagreement is often mistaken for bad listening.

    Ross discussed the app Finch, for motivating behavior change.
