Develop Your Leaders

360-degree assessment and feedback

The single biggest danger in business and life, other than outright failure, is to be successful without being resolutely clear about why you are successful in the first place.

Robert Burgelman, Stanford Business School

Managers and individual contributors often find that as they climb the corporate ladder, they receive less and less feedback. The PROFILOR 360-degree assessment and feedback process is designed to give participants feedback about behavior, which their bosses, peers and subordinates observe in their everyday work.

The purposes and uses of 360-degree assessment are many. Participants will have a clearer understanding of how others see them and their strengths. They will also know where they are in relation to others who have taken the instruments. Finally, they will write a self-development plan and have the tools to make the changes they want.

Diversity in the workplace

In today's workplace, there is a plethora of people from different backgrounds. Managers need to align the skills and talents of their workers effectively to maximize the organization's potential. It becomes a challenge when you have to bridge potentially conflicting beliefs, customs and work styles.

In this interactive and thought-provoking workshop, managers will:

• Discuss the impact of diversity in the workplace
• Develop solutions to real life diversity issues within your organization

Integrating generations into the workplace

More generations than ever before are represented in today's workplace; the Traditionalists, the Baby Boomers, the Generation Xers, and the Millennials.

Is your organization grappling with generational gaps in recruiting, rewarding, managing, training and communicating with different generations? Join us in an engaging and participative seminar to gain a clear understanding of how you and your organization can transform motivation, team building, communication and trust, turn generational differences into opportunities, and improve your organization's bottom line.

Leadership boot camp

In this highly interactive program you will learn how successful leadership works. The workshop also provides hands-on development activities that you can use to improve your own leadership abilities and develop other leaders in your organization.

Manage change

Nothing is permanent but change.

Heroditus, 4th Century, BC

This comment could not be truer today. Profound changes are shaking up our lives and the way we do business. And the pace of change is picking up. This program will help you not only survive, but to thrive on ongoing change. You will learn to:

• Identify the stages of change and transition
• Recognize emotional blocks to change
• Understand the change process
• Develop tools to move through the change process

Peer coaching groups

One of the most powerful steps a leader can take - at any stage in his or her development - is to find a group of peers. If you are alone in creating your business (and having a partner or partners doesn't mean you're not alone), opportunities for learning and teaching are lost. With a peer coaching group, you can accelerate your growth and give back your wisdom and experience to those coming after you.

Peer coaching groups help you to:

• Talk about issues you cannot address with your staff
• Learn about successful practices and new resources
• Network with other leaders
• Focus on key goals
• Increase productivity while decreasing work time
• Widen profit margins
• Realize your dreams through accountability

Smart choices: How to hire the best

People generally assume that when hiring decisions go wrong, the fault lies with bad judgment during the interview process. But companies with successful hiring practices recognize that this is too simplistic an explanation. Hiring is a multi-step process, and whatever missteps occur early on in the process will invariably catch up to you. Learn how to:

• Get to the core of what you need
• Cast a wide net
• Ask the right interview questions
• Compare and contrast top candidates
• Protect your company from legal liability
• Check out references
• Present and negotiate the offer

Truth or consequences: How to give employee feedback

Learn how to set realistic performance objectives, analyze individual performance, involve employees in the appraisal process, give and receive feedback, and handle difficult performance appraisals. You’ll also learn how to motivate employees to improve their performance and productivity through improved two-way communication.

Understanding yourself and others through Myers-Briggs

Are you one of those organized workers who always gets your projects in before they're due? Or do you put off getting the job done until the very last moment? Is your boss someone who readily lets you know how you're doing? Or does he or she leave you unsure of where you stand?

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator is an assessment instrument that makes it easy to recognize your own type and those of your coworkers. Knowing your own preferences and learning about other people’s can help you understand what your strengths are, what kinds of work you might enjoy, and how people with different preferences can relate to one another and contribute to society.
