Distinguished Leadership This course emphasizes the distinction between leadership skills and management skills. Participants learn to understand their own leadership style and values. In turn, they can create a vision for their company, department or team, and sharpen their skills to inspire the people around them. Situational Leadership This course is based on Ken Blanchard's work on Situational Leadership. Participants learn how to best utilize and "flex" their natural leadership style to better meet the motivation level and competencies of the individuals and teams they are leading. The Dynamics of Team Performance - The Manager's Challenge This course shows managers how to lead a productive team. Participants learn how to build solid working relationships, manage individual personalities, and optimize group dynamics. They also learn how to clarify roles and responsibilities, set team goals, manage individual and team accountability, and link team performance to organizational objectives. Train-the-Trainer Sessions Train-the-Trainer is for internal managers or staff. These programs typically provide a professional development/leadership opportunity for an organization's management team. Participants are coached to lead the introduction of corporate initiatives or facilitate organizational brainstorming sessions that address specific organizational issues and solutions. (i.e., Think Tanks) Participants are trained in methodologies, exercises and skills that support them in the process of leading their own sessions. These sessions are designed to identify potential solutions to their organization's identified challenges. THE SKILLS LEARNED BY PARTICIPANTS ARE: Facilitating Small Groups Balancing Content and Process Using The Agreement Cycle Maintaining Group Focus Defining Results Creating and Using a Group Memory Understanding Group Process Pressure Points Employing Guidelines for Good Recording Participants not only enjoy the Train-the-Trainer process but report success and a sense of accomplishment from their experience with the team that they lead in their training session. These skills can then be utilized back on the job.
