| LISTENING LEADERSHIP Research studies confirm that people ignore,
misunderstand, or simply forget at least 75% of what they hear. And the
costs of poor listening can be staggering: loss of money, personality
clashes, low morale - to name a few! In this seminar, you will learn how
to diagnose your own listening breakdowns through understanding the "SIER
Formula" for listening success. You will also analyze the 10 primary
listening habits and get feedback on your own habits. In-depth
information and application will be given on 6 "Leadership Listening
Skills" that can increase your listening effectiveness immediately in
all areas of your life. |
| CREATING & SUSTAINING WINNING TEAMS This practical program is
designed to help you recognize the major differences between work groups
and teams in organizations. Emphasis is placed on the techniques
involved in getting people to take ownership of the team concept. You
will learn the 4 stages that all teams progress through, tips on solving
conflicts among team members, building a work team that "clicks", and
how to become a team coordinator that people respect. |
| THE LEADER'S EDGE Why are most of our organizations over-managed and
under-led? Why can't some managers and supervisors influence their
employees to peak performing levels? One reason is that they have not
capitalized on their own leadership potential. This program will
acquaint you with 5 leadership behaviors that make a difference. You
will also learn what is the single most important trait of a superior
leader. Additionally, you will learn to lead by example, rather than
manage by memo. Specific techniques will be emphasized on how to boost
your leadership abilities. |
| THE SITUATIONAL LEADER This program will help you to become a more
flexible and effective leader by learning the basics of an "organized
common sense" system for getting results with and through other people.
You will become familiar with 4 powerful leadership styles and learn the
techniques of how and when to use each style. You will also learn how to
assess your employees development levels and needs. This program is
designed specifically for supervisors and managers who would like to
assist employees in unleashing enthusiasm, competence, and commitment
|
| PEOPLE LEADERSHIP: DIFFERENT STROKES FOR DIFFERENT FOLKS Before a
manager or supervisor can expect to achieve results with and through
other people, it is essential that they first "know themselves". During
this program, you will be provided with tools to better understand
yourself and others with whom you work. You will receive valuable
feedback on how you see yourself, how you react under pressure, and how
others see you. Specific relationship strategies will be covered and you
will construct your own personal action plan for capitalizing on your
"people" skills. |
| HOW TO MOTIVATE EMPLOYEES One of the most frequently asked questions
by supervisors and managers is "How can I motivate my employees?" This
program takes a new look at the old question of motivation. You will
learn what motivation is and review some of the latest studies on what
makes people work productively. A variety of practical tools and
techniques will be covered including: the WIIFM and MMFI concepts; how
to enrich any job; the turn-on's and turn-off's; and the Greatest
Management Principle. You will also learn the 3 powerful secrets of the
One-Minute Manager and how to apply them. |
| THE SERVANT LEADERSHIP JOURNEY This session explores one of the
dominant leadership philosophies being discussed in the world today. The
idea that a leader should be a servant is at least 2,000 years old.
Unfortunately, it is found in too few organizations. Servant leadership
deals with the reality of power in everyday life -- it's legitimacy, the
ethical restraints upon it, and the beneficial results that can be
attained through the appropriate use of power. You will identify what
servant leaders do and how to implement it in the workplace. |
| EFFECTIVE GOAL-SETTING & DOING The major purpose of this workshop is
to show supervisors and managers how to set goals with an employee for
maximum performance. You will be involved in a goal-setting exercise
that will point out the key factors for success. Emphasis will also be
placed on how to write and communicate goals so that they are
motivating. |
| COACHING FOR POSITIVE DIRECTION Having the skills to coach others is
a must in today's fast-paced business climate. In this interactive
workshop, you will explore methods and techniques to bridge the gap
between what is expected and what is actually happening on the job.
Effective coaching provides an on-going system of communication for
guiding, supporting, and enabling people to develop. You will also learn
an effective method for discussing and resolving any performance
problem. The foundation of coaching for positive direction is helping
employees to take responsibility for their own behavior. |
| SELF LEADERSHIP: HOW TO LEAD YOUR LIFE WITH PURPOSE This session
explores the first level of leadership -- self-leadership skills. It is
designed to give you personalized feedback on your own strengths and
opportunities for development. You will learn the importance of purpose
and the core foundations of a personal success system. Additionally, you
will identify the Top 10 tips to re-kindle your self leadership. This
session will enable you to fulfill your potential while building a
strong foundation from which to make daily decisions both professionally
and personally. You will walk away with a personal action plan for
improvement. |
