Welcome to Manager Tools.

This is Kate.

And this is Sarah.

Today's cast, Building Your Bench, Part 2 of 2.

The questions this cast answers are, how can I speed up my hiring process?

How can I improve the quality of the candidates I see, and where should I look for new hires?

If you want answers to these questions and more, keep listening.

If you've been following and implementing our management guidance for a while and you've achieved

great results, you might be asking what's next. We're excited to introduce our newest offering,

the effective senior manager organizational training. If you have a group of senior or upper

level managers looking to improve, the guidance will make them and your organization more effective.

We'll start talking about team one, advancing careers.

We'll talk about how to manage managers.

We'll talk about, as well, communication and provide your managers with a masterclass on effective communication within the organization.

Attendees will gain exposure to the executive systems that drive the relationship from above.

Contact Maggie to learn more and schedule your organizational training.

No, that's not the right term.
