About the mobile app and learning journey
From the essential management classic Being the Boss by Linda A. Hill, Harvard Business School professor and researcher, comes a mobile experience to train managers in The 3 Imperatives of great leadership. Backed by more than 30 years of continuous research, the Being the Boss learning experience contains quick bites of content, tools, and inspiration, alongside a community to facilitate knowledge sharing and accountability.
Being the Boss turns professional development into a habit that builds upon itself day after day. This active learning process has been proven to boost information retention by more than 50% compared with traditional workshop methods.
Leveraging the breakthrough 1st90 performance platform, Hill's extensive research has been applied to 18 specific action steps managers carry out over 45 days. The method is not only convenient, but also enjoyable, with a net promoter score of 97% among early adopters.
Helping managers get better
In her decades of research, Hill discovered that few organizations have great managers. She also learned that even talented, well-intended managers can sometimes derail. This lack of improvement is costly to organizations. Poor management is the leading cause of employee turnover. According to Gallup, 75 percent of the reasons people quit come down to their managers.
The culprit is not complacency or organizational failure—it is a lack of understanding of how to get better. Even senior leaders ask themselves, “Am I good enough?” or “Am I ready?”
Being the Boss has distilled 3 critical components to help leaders answer those questions and make a difference in their organizations.
Program objectives:
In just 45 days, managers will develop key habits on their journey toward being a great boss, structured around The 3 Imperatives:
