Six-week digital program tackles challenges
faced by first-level managers
The Center for Creative Leadership and Apollo Education Group
(NASDAQ: APOL) launched in late May 2016 an online training
program, Frontline Leader Impact, designed to meet the leadership
development needs of first-level managers.
Fifty-nine percent of first-time managers say adjusting to
managing people and displaying authority were among their top
challenges, according to CCL data.
“We know a large portion of all leaders across most
organizations are frontline managers, which makes developing that
group mission critical for many companies,” said Mary Abraham,
Director of Digital Learning Products at CCL. “In traditional
training models, providing leadership training to those managers
was cost prohibitive. Now we can offer companies a high-quality,
flexible and affordable option.”
The course pairs the Center for Creative Leadership’s
world-class, research-driven content and experienced faculty with
Apollo Education Group’s award-winning online learning
platform.
"To engage today’s modern worker and drive real behavior change,
learning needs a new set of tools built for the changing way we
work, tools that are available on demand, more social and connected
to our jobs," said Josh Painter, Vice President of Product at
Apollo Education Group. “Our Accelerator Course Experience delivers
a leadership development experience that has been completely
reimagined for the digital age. We are excited to partner with CCL
to better serve organizations developing their frontline
managers.”
The six-week online leadership class teaches frontline leaders
the six key competencies of effective leadership: self-awareness,
political savvy, learning agility, influencing outcomes,
communication and motivating others.
