Developer Manager essentials

Most managers know they should spend more time developing their team members. They rarely do so, not because they lack the intention, but because they don’t know where to start. Listening, motivating, delegating, and guiding: these are practical skills that can be learned and developed. This kit provides the four fundamental tools for embodying the role of a development-oriented manager in day-to-day management.

In this kit, you'll find:

  • The right questions to ask during one-on-one meetings to foster meaningful conversations, stimulate reflection, and encourage independence without giving the employee the answer for them
  • The Motivation Checklist for Creating a Motivating Environment at the Right Time: Individual Recognition Strategies, Team Practices, and Signals to Send at Key Moments
  • The delegation matrix for determining what to delegate, to whom, and with what level of support, based on each employee’s skills and level of autonomy
  • A managerial routine for continuously developing employees through structured one-on-one meetings, a clear feedback process, and tracking commitments from week to week

Download the kit and get the right listening questions, the motivation checklist, the delegation matrix, and the managerial routine you need to develop your employees.
