Ten Top Skills for Managers

your team's future is at stake

You have technical staff who are practical, analytical problem solvers.
That’s great…until it’s time for them to lead.  Then…

  • They sacrifice relationships for to-do lists
  • Their robotic communication style rubs people
    the wrong way
  • Their meticulous plan is unchangeable even when
    change is needed
  • Reports and emails are technical mumbo-jumbo that disregard the client’s needs
  • They are stymied by personality issues and perplexed by office politics

Stop wasting the potential of these high-functioning individuals

Stop wasting everyone’s time with ineffective, in-house programs

Stop assuming smart, technical people know how to lead

"...getting things done right the first time and in less time..."
“…really it has the greatest impact on a team because now the sum is greater. In terms of value, in terms of communication, in terms of stress reduction, in terms of efficiency, better understanding and getting things done right the first time and in less time, I think there’s the value.”
"Personal relationships are so much better"
“Personal relationships are so much better or so much improved that we’re able to just get complex work done a lot faster…”
"I think our agility and flexibility has improved..."
“I would say that we have reduced the amount of time that it takes to make good decisions, so I think our agility and flexibility has improved this year as a result directly of that.”

The Origin of “Blue Fjord Leaders”

If landscapes had a personality, fjords would be bold. Fjords are the dramatic intertwining of land and water. In some traditions, land represents the power of thought and intellect while water represents the equally powerful domain of intuition and feeling. Blue Fjord leaders embody the skilled integration and application of both forces.

That’s what sets Blue Fjord Leaders apart.
