Managing, In The Traditional Sense
Is A Thing Of The Past

Monitoring processes, scheduling work and directing activities are all useless and mind-numbing for both the manager and the managed.

What is expected of leaders in today’s organizations has evolved. Leaders must now drive team empowerment, coach, mentor and drive autonomy. Management and bureaucracy slow things down. Top talent today will no longer deal with dictatorial direction from on high.

This evolution in leadership is a direct result of our shift to a knowledge worker economy.

We no longer manufacture, but instead create and automate. To succeed, organizations must develop “T-shaped employees,” who possess deep technical expertise, but also a wide breadth of professional skills.

However, most middle-managers or upcoming managers have only stove-piped technical knowledge, so being thrown into leading self-organized, self-directed teams is a recipe for disaster.

In this one hour session, David will discuss 7 skills that you need to develop in your organization in 2014

Learning Objectives:

• Data Analysis
• Emotional Intelligence
• Collaboration and Communication
• Conflict Resolution
• Coaching/Mentoring
• Facilitation and Negotiation
• Change Management

Panelists will discuss why and how to develop these skills within in your organization.

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) – David Mantica has experience in business to business continuing education in executive, product management, marketing, and operations capacities. He has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries.

Most IT organizations need to improve how they manage their applications in order to meet the twin demands of the rest of the business: lower total cost of ownership and improved agility.

But some application organizations are already performing excellently against these two measures.

This presentation shares what we have learned from these paragons of the application world.

Discussion Topics:

• The significant cultural differences between the best and the rest
• How breaking down IT silos leads to high reuse and faster time to market
• How “everything as a service” enables high-frequency operational implementation of application features
