Management Behind Closed Doors

Johanna Rothman and Esther Derby

Great management happens one interaction at a time. Many of those interactions happen behind closed doors � in one-to-one meetings. So if great management happens in private, how do people learn how to be great managers?

Great managers consistently apply a handful of simple--but not necessarily easy-- practices. In this session (based on their book Managment Behind Closed Doors: Secrets of Great Management), management coaches Johanna and Esther will reveal management practices we (and our clients) have found useful, and explain how to perform them.

Note: This session is related to, but not the same as Johanna and Esther's new workshop: Behind Closed Doors: Managing One-on-One. For that workshop, see ManagingOneonOneWorkshop.

Learning objectives:

• How to conduct an effective one-on-one meeting to learn status, develop capability, and uncover obstacles.
• When and how to coach.
• Determining the strategically important work and the not-to-do work
