PARTNERING WITH YOUR STAFF TO ENSURE SUCCESSFUL ORGANIZATIONAL CHANGE - Change is inevitable and clearly a prerequisite for organizational success. Senior managers, supervisors and associates alike play critical roles in ensuring the success of any change management strategy.

COMMUNICATION: THE FOUNDATION OF SOUND ORGANIZATIONAL DEVELOPMENT - No organization succeeds without effective communications. Ensuring productive work relations among co-workers, who are often asked to do more with less, requires good attention to interpersonal skills and office dynamics.

WHENEVER TWO OR THREE ARE GATHERED, THERE IS CERTAIN TO BE CONFLICT – Conflict is a natural part of life and thus the work environment as well.

This seminar will explore workplace conflict and help you identify and leverage your preferred approaches to managing workplace differences.

MANAGEMENT THEORY AND TODAY’S APPLICATION – If you are a new manager, you owe it to your staff and yourself to understand the principles of effective leadership and management. Often managers are influenced solely by their own experiences – if they were lead by good leadership, they may model the same, if the example was poor, imagine the fate of the staff members who must submit to the replica of this example. This management theory seminar will ensure you gain a good working understanding of management and the current approaches to effective leadership.

LEADERSHIP THAT FOLLOWERS PURSUE - Organizational success does not occur without good leadership; and good leadership cannot exist without a capable and willing staff. Leaders enjoy the responsibility of creating motivated behavior within their staff. However, such a task is anything but pleasant if the staff are not willing to follow. This seminar will explore how effective leaders not only develop capable staff, but encourage staff to willingly follow.

DELEGATION: THE ONLY WAY TO ACCOMPLISH MORE WITH LESS – Motivated staff fan their own fire; and effective delegation generates optimum behavior.
