LDEP Manager's Guide

Roles & Responsibilities for the Support of LDEP Participants’ Learning and Development

To enhance the learning of the LDEP participant, the participant’s Direct Manager and that manager’s manager (Supporting Manager) both need to be engaged during the program and after the program. Managers will have a different a role in the program based on the participant’s reporting relationship to them. The two roles are: ▪ Direct Manager – Primarily responsible for actively coaching the participant. ▪ Supporting Manager – Primarily responsible for checking in with both the manager of the participant and, occasionally, with the participant in a supporting role. Note: In the case where a participant’s manager is also in the program, the next level of management will be performing the Direct Manager role for both their direct report and also that participant’s direct report. This means some of you will be in both roles, but with different LDEP participants.

The Table on page 5 is intended to clarify who is in what role or roles for LDEP6. Following that is a Guide for Direct Managers and a Guide for Supporting Managers.
