Manager Excellence Academy

The Managerial Academy is an original, open development programme for managers who know that self-development is the best investment. The programme is conducted in a processual approach. We focus on the following areas: Me as a manager and my own motivation, Me and the Employee, Me and the team.

During the programme, we build a profile of a modern manager who is conscious and ready to face contemporary challenges. We look at outstanding management practitioners, we become inspired and abandon myths and stereotypes. All so that you, as a manager, can find your individual management style and discover what makes you a good manager. We want you to consciously decide which resources you want to use and which talents to develop.

We talk about business situations, but they are translatable to private relations. This consistency is important if we want to have fun at work (flow) and be happy in our private life (work-life-balance). Everyone knows themselves best – you learn to name your needs and how to satisfy them effectively. Communication and effective action are especially important for managers, who are responsible for relations with co-workers, customers and partners.

Your authority as a manager stems from your knowledge, competence, experience and the quality of relations with others. If you have the authority, others will follow you. Where you are now is the result of your earlier choices and your surroundings. During the programme, we encourage you to search for your own path in a courageous way, in harmony with yourself, without looking behind or bending to a critical assessment of others. Why? Because we believe that if the manager knows what they are really motivated by, takes care of their needs and fully accepts themselves, then employees will be more willing to join them.

Effective management is often looked at through the prism of the achievement of the KPIs that the manager is responsible for. Sometimes the methods applied do not suffice and in order to achieve more, you need to change your approach. We teach an innovative approach to people management – Management through Individualisation (MtI), which is being mindful of individual needs of the people that the manager manages, so that their objectives coincide.

We give you specific management tools which make it possible to diagnose the situation in the company and the team: an audit using the “You want to do it, you can do it, you know how to do it” (WCK) method. We also help build a team and develop employees in harmony with themselves through the Reiss Motivational Profile Ⓡ (RMP). You learn to observe behaviours, statements, and reactions to support employees in the attainment of the common goal in a more effective way. You will learn how to build a team with the potential to achieve the company’s objectives, how to adapt tasks to specific people so that they want to do it, and how to communicate effectively in a way that is positively received and makes people want to act. You will learn how to appreciate and correct actions, how to motivate people and benefit from regular meetings. You will learn how to set objectives effectively and assess their achievement using knowledge about the internal needs of employees.

The programme includes certification. At this stage, you can see if you are ready to use the knowledge in practice, without our support. You receive individual recommendations, which will help you choose an optimal follow-up after the programme, when you need it. The programme can be continued at different levels (e.g. individual managerial sessions, sales development for a sales manager). You can also join the managerial community, which we conduct regular consultations for.
