Quick answer

What is the difference between leadership training and manager training?

At Catapult, leadership and management training means multi-session development programs and certificate tracks, such as the Team Leader and Advanced Management certificates. Manager development means single-session workshops that build one tactical skill, such as coaching, feedback or difficult conversations.

What are some good leadership training ideas for managers?

The formats that hold up are the ones managers practise in, not listen to. Catapult builds its programs around real workplace scenarios: coaching conversations, performance documentation, discipline and PIPs, conflict resolution, and the employment law that sits under all of it. Cohort certificate tracks work better than one-off talks because skill builds across sessions and people return to their teams between them.

What is the 70-20-10 rule for leadership?

It is a model from the Center for Creative Leadership describing where managers actually learn: roughly 70 percent from on-the-job experience, 20 percent from other people through coaching and feedback, and 10 percent from formal training. The practical reading is that a course is the smallest slice, so it should be built to feed the other two. That is why Catapult programs run as multi-session cohorts with work applied between sessions.

What leadership skills do Catapult courses build?

Across the Leadership and Management catalog: first-time supervision, performance documentation, difficult conversations, coaching frameworks, discipline and PIPs, conflict resolution, employment law basics, FMLA and ADA fundamentals, the at-will doctrine, strategic HR thinking, executive presence, and cross-functional influence.
