THE AMA MANAGER FRAMEWORK—HELPING MANAGERS ADAPT TO MODERN CHALLENGES

Successfully addressing today’s management challenges is essential for organizations to thrive and stay competitive, but conventional models and strategies for developing managers are not sufficient to meet this need. The makeup of today’s workforce has been transformed by significant shifts in both society and business. With global talent sourcing, hybrid and remote work environments, those transitioning to fully back in the office, and multigenerational teams—combined with increased business demands and constant change—managers and their staff are faced with a range of new and evolving challenges.

For example, consider the following statistics from the recent AMA whitepaper, Why Managers Are Failing to Execute Strategy, and How Organizations Can Help. This report summarizes findings from an AMA survey that explored how effective managers communicate strategy, translate it into actionable plans, harness their teams’ talents, and inspire them to focus on bringing leadership’s vision to life.
