Mindtools, known globally for management and leadership skills development, has unveiled its latest product, The Manager Skill Builder (MSB). This adaptive learning tool is designed to help managers develop their skills and fill essential gaps in leadership capabilities within organizations.
“Our research shows that 50% of managers receive no training when stepping into their first management role. Even those that do receive training often find it generic and misaligned with their needs,” says Shabnam Shahani, CEO of Mindtools.
Transforming Management Training
The Manager Skill Builder builds on the earlier success of Mindtools’ Manager Skills Assessment. It provides a unique, engaging learning experience tailored to managers at all levels. By using smart algorithms, it adjusts content to meet the specific needs of each manager, ensuring faster, effective skills development.
