A Toolkit from The Smarty Train

Level Up Your Line Managers

of managers experience burnout at work

Line managers’ jobs are ten times harder than they were before COVID.

Research has shown that 75% of people who voluntarily left their role did so for reasons their line manager could directly influence.

Put simply: people don’t leave companies, they leave line managers. Are your line managers a priority in your development strategy? Are you equipping them to retain your talent?

Our Line Manager Toolkit uses science and human-centred principles to explore how best to level up your line managers to be higher-performing, at a time when a new approach to leadership is sorely needed for organisations to thrive.

Includes:

  • Level Up Your Line Managers

    5 actionable methods to better support your line managers, including soft skill development, fostering psychological safety, and mapping development journeys

  • How to Initiate Change

    Tried-and-tested high-impact Line Manager growth and development solutions

  • Accelerated Line Management in Practice

    Supporting case studies from our line management development projects with pioneering global brands
