Management Training Program Components

1. Pre-assessment

Each company will be given pre-assessment forms to use with their management team. This simple questionnaire will allow you as an owner to see where your managers feel they need the most help.

2. Choose Course Preferences

After evaluating the assessments from your managers, and understanding the greatest needs in your own company, you may select your course preferences. Each company involved will choose their “Top 5” out of our 72 management subjects that they would like to have included within a twelve-week course. We will guarantee that all the #1 and #2 selections will be a part of the course and will set the twelve-week program up considering all the priority selections from participating companies.

3. 30-Minute Training Videos

Each participant will watch a 30-minute training video, at their leisure, within a six-day assigned period. In these videos, participants will receive teaching on a management subject from one of our ME4 Business Solutions’ trainers.

4. Questionnaire

After watching the training video, each participant will complete the Questionnaire Form for the week. This questionnaire is designed to help the participating manager think through the video they just watched; identifying practical action steps. This will also guide our trainers in leading the “Weekly Video Management Coaching” sessions.

5. Weekly Video Management Coaching

Each week, on the same day and time, each participating manager will be invited to join a video conference call. An ME4 trainer will lead a one-hour, Management Coaching session. Taking the practical action steps, identified from the questionnaires, our trainer will spend this time with the group to help them to become more successful in applying the teaching in day-to-day management scenarios. Each group size will be set to a maximum of ten participants. ME4 Business Solutions uses “Zoom Cloud Meeting” for our video conferencing. Our IT people will be available to help each participant set up this easy-to-use program.

6. Weekly Recap to Owners

Every week, within 48 hours of the Video Management Coaching, each business owner (CEO or designated executive) will receive a recap from the previous week. In this recap, we will include highlights from what your managers have learned as well as candid feedback on where your managers could use further coaching.
