ESSENTIALS FOR POSITIVE LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT TRAINING

This in-person and highly interactive training offers tools and tips to address common leadership and managerial challenges in a positive, constructive way. The training is intended to benefit high potential leaders and both new and experienced managers. Different sessions address motivation and engagement, positive coaching and feedback, and handling common challenges such as time management and effectively managing supervisor/supervisee relationships.

The training also allows the participants to build a network of supportive peers from other organizations who can be sounding boards to share and discuss leadership and supervisory challenges.

The training includes two books with surveys and assessments. The first book
is Five Dysfunctions of a Team, which is a compelling, smart, easy-to-read fable about how to create a culture of commitment and accountability and make a team functional and focused on results. The participants receive a team functionality assessment. The second book is Emotional Intelligence 2.0, which includes an assessment and a report on how to improve your emotional intelligence.

The participants also take the Myers-Briggs assessment, the DISC Profile assessment, the Clifton Strengths 34 assessment, and the Thomas-Kilmann Conflict Mode Instrument assessment. The assessments are lasting and valuable tools that participants can reference between training sessions.

The in-person training is highly interactive and includes experience-based learning activities. Experience-based learning uses a holistic approach that addresses the cognitive, emotional and physical aspects of the participants.
It is based on the theory that the most effective way to learn is by doing.

Everyone contributes to the team’s success in action-based activities that provide memorable learning experiences.
