James Agnew's Linkedin Analytics

Did you know 58% of middle managers report they have never received any formal training? Promoting top producers to be managers without training is not a great strategy. You lose twice. Once for losing a top producer. Twice for having a manager that can't lead effectively. I have noticed that the middle manager is the key to company growth and performance throughout my career. Gallup has a book about it called “It’s The Manager.” That’s my mantra. I help managers succeed and love their role in people operations. The old school performance management systems are outdated. In its place is Growth Management. Growth culture is a workplace environment and model focused on individual and collaborative growth, long-term success, and positive employee wellbeing. Growth culture extracts the anxiety and fear from performance culture and replaces it with resources, support, and recognition to inspire and engage employees. A growth culture ultimately benefits the entire organization in both a financial and operational capacity. I have launched Blaast to help companies create their own unique Growth Culture. We are democratizing manager training and tools. Blaast is part tech, part data, part old fashion coaching. Follow me here for weekly content about the noble profession of management.
