Engagement Expectations

The Manager's Role in Engagement & Accountability

Managers have the greatest impact on employee engagement, performance, and retention, yet many are unclear on what is truly expected of them in this role. This session focuses on clarifying the manager’s responsibility in creating accountability, setting priorities, and driving results through people.

Participants will explore how everyday leadership behaviors influence engagement and outcomes, and how to balance empathy with accountability in a way that supports both employees and the business.

Managers will learn how to:

Understand their direct impact on engagement, productivity, and retention.
Set clear expectations and consistently reinforce accountability.
Identify behaviors that unintentionally disengage employees.
Align team goals with organizational priorities.
Navigate common manager challenges.

This level of depth and application is consistent across all bootcamp sessions.

This bootcamp is designed as a complete, cohort-based learning journey. Participants register once and attend all 12 sessions as part of the same cohort.
