Maxman Management Academy

Intro

DEVELOPMENT OF KEY MANAGERIAL SKILLS

The Maxman Managerial Academy is a blended learning experience delivered in an effective format, with respect for participants’ time constraints.

Academy methodology

Interactive, experiential, and practical

Introductory video tutorial on how to learn and make the most of the MMA

Six online interactive workshops (held regularly once every two weeks). Short, 2.5-hour interactive sessions delivered at regular intervals have proven to be the most effective for development. Participants leave each workshop with specific techniques and tools to apply in practice.

Videos and development inspiration — alongside the workshops, participants receive recommendations for books, podcasts, and videos throughout the academy (between individual modules) that align with the topics covered.

Implementation between modules — the rapid application of knowledge and skills is key to effective transfer into practice. Therefore, we use the periods between modules for assignments that participants carry out directly in their day-to-day work.

Final afterparty — quizzes, competitions, reflection on key learnings from each of the six modules, evaluation, and feedback.

MODULES

Topics we will focus on in the academy:

1. BASIC MANAGER´S MINDSET

Understanding your managerial / leadership strengths and the areas that hold us back.

2. MANAGERIAL PSYCHOLOGY

Understanding the individual differences between individual team members.

3. PERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT – PRIORITIES / DIRECTIONS / OBJECTIVES

We will focus on managerial work with goals and tasks.

4. RADICAL CANDOR + HOW TO WORK WITH FEEDBACK

Creating an open feedback culture in the company / team.

5. MANAGER AS MENTOR AND COACH

We will provide participants with tools that are immediately applicable to the development of people individually and in teams.

6. MANAGER AS FACILITATOR

Facilitation skills and techniques are the basis for the manager in effective team management and by mastering these techniques, the manager can increase the productivity of meetings and interactions.

7. FINAL AFTERPARTY

It is important to us that participants develop real practical skills; therefore, we maintain an 80/20 ratio between practical experimentation and theoretical input during the training.

The training content is well chosen. The guidelines on how to approach the tasks were very helpful when completing the assignments. Some of the most valuable aspects were the new information, theories, and techniques.
