We know from research and from talking to real managers that the move into 21st Century leadership has brought about a huge shift in leadership beliefs and behaviours. The world has truly changed and leaders need to change with it.
21st Century people are different. 21st Century leadership is different. People thrive on speed, they want not one but multiple careers and they act fast. With this new dynamic environment there is a strong need for leadership as opposed to management.
Managers need to learn how to bridge the gap between management and leadership, if you don't invest time in your managers to help them do this, 20% of them will move on to a place that will. Guard the talent you have in your organisation, keep it and help it grow.
In order to succeed, leaders need to understand the major changes that are occurring and work with their team accordingly. Managers are telling us that in order to do this effectively they need tools; tools to help them deal with issues such as engagement, organisational change and team motivation - tools that are simple and help them bridge the gap between management and leadership.
MGL can do this. MGL can give your managers the tools that they are asking for to help them take their leadership to the next level.

"I cannot say enough about the value of the mgl process and would recommend it to any managers looking to take their career to the next level" - Brian Filanowski, Global Head of Product Marketing, London What does MGL 2011 involve? MGL 2011 is a 3-day workshop followed by 3 months of coaching and networking and a final review presentation - this format allows the participant to take the tools and models they learn in the workshop and use them in real life, constantly being supported and guided through by their coach; this level of support is what makes MGL different. The changes that have come with the beginning of the 21st Century is a widely discussed topic, when we relate this to leadership, we can see a huge shift in behaviours and beliefs. We are constantly analysing feedback from the Managers of Managers and more specifically, we are interested in their thoughts and views on leadership. After noticing some common themes and realising the relationship between these themes and new behaviours, we decided to look further. The major finding that we had was that Managers want tools. They are telling us that they need help to lead their teams and improve engagement, team communication and manage change. The Making Great Leaders process can provide Managers with these, very much wanted and needed tools, giving them a SIMPLE and QUICK method to help bridge the gap between management and leadership. The changes in leadership beliefs and behaviours that the 21st Century has brought with it an early warning that this is not the time to be complacent, this is the time to put leadership development for middle-mangers firmly on the critical strategic issues agenda.
