The role of managers has changed
(And here’s what L&D can do about it) 

Managers have become miniature modern CEOs. And this likely won’t change in the new year. They’re responsible for a team of individuals with diverse skills and experiences, and that team owns a small slice of an organization’s success. But managers can easily become frustrated and overwhelmed when they aren’t equipped to do their job well. 

Here are three strategies to empower frontline managers and create a culture of leadership from the middle. 

L&D leaders have a vital role in activating purpose, shaping its impact, and harnessing its benefits throughout the organization. This e-book explores multiple dimensions of purpose-led learning - the idea of connecting learning programs directly to organizational purpose - and the impact on engagement and other outcomes L&D leaders care about, such as performance, retention, and reconnecting people to a sense of meaning in their work. It also explores why and how facilitated or cohort-based learning programs can activate purpose and improve employee engagement.
