Management Training for Managing Directors in Finance & Trading

In investment banking and capital markets, Managing Directors (MDs) are typically among the top business result producers. Their primary focus lies in generating revenue, managing client relationships, overseeing mandates, and trading books. On average, MDs spend less than 15% of their time on actually managing individuals in their teams. Given this dynamic, producing managers frequently enter their roles with little to no formal management training, often learning on the job. This lack of preparation can lead to common pitfalls, including mismanagement, low retention rates, employee dissatisfaction, and, in worst-case scenarios, legal challenges for their organizations.
