Step 1: Developing Your Management Baseline
Before you do anything else in the Lab, we'll want you to go through our Developing Your Management Baseline minicourse. It's all about understanding your unique point of view and theory of change — two of the most important pieces of who you are as a leader – and we think it should take you 1-2 hours to complete:
From there, you'll engage with our content or our events in whatever way best serves you at the time. We drop new content each month – that'll be what you see below in the "NEW" box – as well as archiving past content and linking to upcoming events. Enjoy the Lab! 👩🔬
New This Month
This topic is so critical that most professional management certifications encompass it; SHRM includes it in their Body of Knowledge & Skills model, and PMI includes it in their Talent Triangle. At its heart, we're talking about understanding a given org -- and how you contribute to it -- well enough to make good decisions.
(And if you're thinking "well, what constitutes a good decision?"... you're fitting right in here. :) Read on!)
