Hello Waggle Community!

We are halfway through this year!! #Icanteven

It’s an opportune moment to reflect on the critical role that effective management plays. Recently, we heard a compelling statement:

“By switching to proven, science-based management practices, organizations could change the course of the economy”.

CEO of Gallup

This insight resonates deeply with our mission at Waggle. Our platform is designed to empower leaders & managers with science backed behavioural nudges and insights.

👂🏼Leadership Challenges:

How can we effectively develop inexperienced leaders, given limited resources & the need to balance coaching obligations with other duties?

Director of People Ops, a tech company

The key to developing practical leadership tools lies in leveraging technology to provide real-time learning and scenarios-based coaching.  

Find solutions that can empower leaders to own their own professional growth through AI-driven feedback rather than heavily relying on HR facilitators.

Organizations struggle with leadership training also because of not being able to identify where the skills gaps are.

Pinpointing actual skill gaps helps to precisely target training rather than providing generic programs.

Choosing the right platform puts you ahead of the competition by leaps and bounds. We’ve come up with a list of the top 4 leadership development platforms.

Three key considerations when selecting a leadership development software. 

1️⃣: Does it help identify the manager's skills gaps?

2️⃣: Does it coach the manager to take the right actions as a leader in real-time?

3️⃣: Does it help improve the manager-employee relationship?

At a glance: The top 4 leadership development software.

  1. Waggle | Best for real-time management coaching and skills development

  2. Learnerbly | Best for access to top quality learning content

  3. Coachhub | Best for finding coaches

  4. Hone | Best for live leadership courses.

⭐️ Focus: Art of effective delegation

Mastering this art allows great managers to amplify team's scope & set them up for success.

A Gallup study identifies 6 key attributes that distinguish high delegators from medium, low delegators. 

You are a high delegator if: 

1. You know you can't accomplish everything;

2. You develop team capacity using a strengths-based approach;

3. You ensure employees have everything they need to do their jobs;

4. You focus on outcomes, not processes;

5. You encourage new ideas and approaches to accomplishing goals;

6. You communicate frequently & effectively with employees and in turn they provide feedback

How can a tool like Waggle help with mastering the art of delegation?

  • Identifies where you stand on this skill;

  • Looks for team building opportunities;

  • Helps set clear expectations;

  • Stays on top of tasks & decisions.

Get in touch and find out how.

Aparna & Sarah
