SOCIAL STYLEsm for Managers
The TRACOM Group™ has developed Interpersonal Skills Training specifically for Managers.
A recent study found that four out of ten newly promoted managers will fail within the first 18 months.1 Additional research shows that inadequate interpersonal skills are the main cause of leadership failure2 and that high managerial performance is directly linked to high interpersonal skills.3
Improving Managerial Effectiveness with Versatility is a family of products designed to teach the concepts of applying SOCIAL STYLE in a managerial capacity through a flexible set of teaching materials, classes, self-study guides and SOCIAL STYLE profiles. Organizations can choose the materials and delivery options most appropriate to their managerial development needs.
