+ Leadership & Team Vitality

A course designed to prepare leaders to help their organizations become and remain vital using four specific skills: Praising Coaching Communicating Modeling


Topics Covered:

• What are the few significant skills that make a difference between the good and the best leaders?

• Why are some leaders able to get results and keep morale and job satisfaction high? Research shows clearly that the most significant driver of job satisfaction is one’s relationship with his or her immediate supervisor.
 Based on years of research, we have developed and tested this course to build leadership skills. Learn how to identify opportunities for helping your organization become more vital by answering:

  • What results do we honestly have, and why?

  • What do we want/need in terms of outcomes and behaviors?

  • How can I influence the behaviors that will get us the results we need?


+ Establishing Performance Standards

Management is about getting things done. And in purposeful organizations, it’s increasingly understood, “what gets measured gets done.” So it’s not surprising leaders today are focusing on what to measure. As management tools such as EVA (Economic Value Added), ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning), Six Sigma (Process Improvement) and ABA (Activity Based Accounting) have become a mainstay of the managers skill base, leaders have begun to recognize the need to align strategic planning with performance.

What’s the bottom line? Performance goals and the management of them is no longer optional. You can develop your strategic plan, manager your funding and fiscal controls and yet fail in reaching the desired results due to failing to manage performance in a proactive manner.

Topics Covered:

• Know your mission and vision
Know your performance management system tools

• SMART: Setting goals that work

• Establishing performance expectations

• Turning goals into standards

• Flexibility in standards

• It’s not about control but getting results
