Managing high performers: the Miles Davis way

Leadership & Management Skills Training

“It’s not about standing still and becoming safe. If anybody wants to keep creating they have to be about change.” Miles Davis

This action-oriented training on managing high performers is for executives, senior managers, HR specialists and performance mentors who manage and lead high performers. Using five lessons from Miles Davis and his experience in leading the best to be their best, the seminar shows how these lessons can easily be transferred to the business world. You’ll learn more about these lessons, why they work and then we’ll challenge you to concretely apply them when managing high performers in your organization.
