Just as the way we work is changing, so is the way we learn. While live (virtual or in person) training will likely continue to play a role in how adults gather and learn, one thing is certain: we’re in the middle of a re-skilling revolution.
We’ve seen this shift already in K–12 education. The past two decades have transformed classrooms from chalkboards to gamified, personalized e-learning platforms. Years ago when I was a public school teacher, technology barely touched the classroom. Now it’s the backbone of instruction, helping teachers collect data, personalize lessons, and put students in the driver’s seat of their own learning.
So here’s the question, what if we could do the same for adults? Self-directed learning isn’t new, but the way technology can scale it is. And right now, the workforce is in the middle of a revolution. As with any revolution, there are winners and losers. The winners will be the companies who learn how to maximize their talent through re-skilling, gaining a seven fold return from their investment. The losers will continue to bleed talent and money. Who decides whether you win or lose? Managers.
The Manager Factor
We all know it’s managers who drive employees engagement and experience. They determine who stays or goes and they determine how productive your individual contributors actually are. It’s not the quantity of managers that matters, it’s the quality. The problem is, most managers aren’t really trained to manage, that’s why they’ve become a scapegoat for everything wrong with bloated organizations.
But what if we could change that?
Enter ManagerEQ: The Duolingo for Managers
At ManagerEQ, we believe managers can be re-skilled just like students in a classroom through tech-enabled, personalized, data-driven practice. Over 5,000 managers have already vetted our methodology, with consistent, measurable results: higher retention, stronger performance, and ROI that companies can see on their bottom line. This is not simply a theory, we’ve proven our approach, and the data backs it up.
And timing matters here too. Think about this, millennials now constitute more than half the managerial workforce. That’s a generation of young people who grew up as digital natives. They’re used to learning through gamified systems and personalized self-directed learning. And, with the right practice, they can build the necessary skills to lead our workforce into the future. We’re kind of depending on them to do so.
Tech and Talent, Together
There’s been a lot of talk about the demise of the worker, coupled with the rise of AI. The reality is, tech and talent don’t have to be at odds. The companies that win in the future of work will be the ones who know how to combine both: maximizing human potential through smart technology. Ready to be on the right side of history? Let’s talk today about how ManagerEQ can transform your workforce into a winning team.
