The best way to deal with changes is to train leaders through the change.

This may require you and the managers to get together and review the process, goals, procedures, and communication that have happened up to that point and plan for these potential changes. 

How to Foster Excellence in Your Management Team

To manage employees effectively, leaders must deliver a consistently high level of organization, teamwork, and communication. Exceeding expectations and over-delivering on their commitment to the role puts businesses in the excellence arena.

Over the centuries, great thinkers have described just what excellence is. Excellence is not perfectionism. Rather, excellence is a journey through an ever-changing landscape of new possibilities and methods. It is the best result that can be produced at a particular moment in time” (Hudson-Searle, 2014).

Starting with the selection of the managers, excellence must be a value and mindset all leaders must seek to achieve. Really, from the top levels of the organization to the new intern, everyone in the organization must commit to doing their best every day. Choose the best talent and never settling for less than the best begins the cycle.

The next step in the cycle is ongoing, regular training and coaching.

Implement Effective Managerial Training in Your Business

Before you can train your team, there are three critical elements in place for each team member.

• A willingness and openness to learn
• Basic skills for the execution of the project
• Basic knowledge of the tasks needed to achieve the goals

In a team setting, not every member will be at the same level of expertise in all three areas. You must move the team forward while helping to fill in the skill or knowledge gaps.

But there is an area that must be inherent in the minds and hearts of all the team members. The willingness and openness to learning. 

Each team member must show they are ready to take on a new challenge even in the face of doubt. A willingness to fail and some level of risk-taking are going to be necessary if the team is going to succeed. 

Keep in mind, mostly, that skills can be taught. Knowledge can be shared or learned. But having the willingness and openness to receive new information, coaching, and formative feedback for improvement lies squarely in the heart of each team member.

If you feel your team has those qualities, then it’s time to invest in coaching and training so they can reach the success you know they are capable of.
