ROOT COMPASS® MANAGER DEVELOPMENT

Lead From the Middle

Contrary to cultural corporate folklore, the role of middle management is not to insulate the C-suite from the hue and cry of the rank and file. In truth, your managers are the glue that holds the company together, connecting the vision of the higher-ups with the frontline folks in their charge.

Just because someone was promoted to management doesn’t make them a natural motivator of or mentor to their people. And with the myriad of pressures they face every day from both below and above their spots on the org chart, they could use a little guidance to get them – and the company – where they need to be.

Providing that guidance is the goal of the Root Compass® Manager Development experience.

A Map That Reveals – Then Reshapes – the Lay of Your Land

At the risk of giving you flashbacks to SAT prep courses, the Root Learning Map® is to typical corporate visualizations as civilized conversation is to Twitter. That is, miles apart.

Each Root Learning Map® experience is centered on a large-format physical image created by our amazing team of artists – of the conceptual, visual, verbal, and even scientific kind. These one-of-a-kind masterworks are discovery based, exceptionally detailed, interactive, and designed to get your people talking – about what is happening, what else could happen, and how each of them can help make it happen. Guided by Root experts, these in-person or virtual experiences transcend typical training modules to achieve something too rarely seen in corporate consulting – bona fide, effective change.

Glimpse why Root Learning Map® Experiences are the exception and not the rule.

The Map Isn’t Animated, but Your Employees Will Be

Nearly 1,000 organizations around the world have embraced the Root Learning Map® solution. They’ve experienced firsthand just how remarkable it is at turning employees from spectators to game changers. We know that by using the Root Learning Map® system to involve them in the following five key areas – each one a map unto itself – their buy-in and resulting effort increase significantly:

THE BIG PICTURE

If it affects your reality, it’s right here: the customer, the competition, the market, the yadda yadda, and how they all mix.

STRATEGY

Now that they know the big picture, your people can visualize how the strategy creates a roadmap for winning.

PROCESS

No one likes having change thrust upon them. When your people grasp the why and how of the change process, they’re much more likely to join the movement.

CUSTOMER

Viewing the business through the eyes of the customer shows your people how they can make a difference, whether they’re on the front lines or driving a forklift.

MONEY

Knowing how their efforts directly affect business performance creates accountability and desire to help grow the top line, the bottom line, and every line in between.
