Welcome to Manager Tools and Career Tools. Today's guidance, bench development in a downturn.

Yeah, there are more people available due to this economic downturn and you have an opportunity to strengthen your bench so that when things really do

heat up for you you'll be able to reach out to someone and hire them easily rather than going through a long

involved HR integrated process.

So here we go for bench development in a downturn.

If only it was business as usual, since it's not, we're doing our best to bring you

training options to fit into our new reality. Manager Tools is offering our client effective manager training virtually over Zoom.

Multiple sessions for up to 30 people, where we'll deliver one-on-luns feedback, rolling out the Trinity,

coaching, and delegation.

And the training includes Roadmap and a personal license for every attendee.

You can also schedule them over multiple weeks so that they can fit into your operational tempo.

particularly in a down market.

Why would we want to copy everyone else if they're not winning, right?

Yeah.

A way to think about it is, is when things are going well or even very well there are all kinds of growth projects

all kinds of work which serves to develop new revenue streams for the firm, new products, new services, new customers.

When things are going up, there's extra money.
