What You'll Learn:

Maximizing Your Time

4. Set objectives
5. Plan your day

Constructive Conflict In the Workplace

Conflict is a normal part of life. Many times conflict has negative consequences; however, conflict can have many benefits. When we handle conflict constructively, it can help us learn new and better ways to respond to problems, build better and more lasting relationships, and understand more about others and ourselves. In this course, you will learn and be able to:

1. Recognize the causes of conflict
2. Understand how you react to conflict
3. Assess your conflict style
4. Learn direct conflict management approaches
5. Analyze your beliefs and attitudes about conflict
6. Prevent conflict using these tools

Activities
You will individually assess your own conflict styles, then within small groups you will discuss the pros and cons of your style in different situations. You will present your findings to the class, so that everyone understands each style thoroughly recognizing when you and others are using a style and how to move to constructive conflict resolution.

Effective Communication

By becoming aware of your values, perceptions, assumptions, and communication style and being willing to improve your communication and respect others, you can learn and use skills and techniques that will help you become a more effective communicator.

1. Be aware of factors influencing communication
2. Communicate with tact and diplomacy
3. Understand the importance of nonverbal communication
4. Plan your communication
5. Prevent miscommunication with this technique
6. Use these scripts for sensitive situations

You will learn eight tools to improve your communication skills, and then with partners you will practice each one of these tools.

Dealing with Difficult Situations

In this module, you will learn how to control your behavior when you are emotional and calm other people down. By thinking before you speak, then attacking the problem, not the person, you can learn and use skills and techniques that will help you more effectively deal with difficult situations.

1. Learn techniques to prevent or de-escalate conflict
2. Understand how to not take it personally
3. Focus on the solution using the six (6) steps to conflict management

Activities
You will learn six techniques, and then with partners you will work through a problem-solving worksheet to role-play using the techniques to focus on a solution while not attacking the person.

Building a High Performance Team

What is the difference between a Super Bowl team and the minor leagues? To understand what makes a team great, we must realize why a team struggles. Being aware of detrimental factors will help us identify and correct issues before they become problems. This module is loaded with tools you can use immediately.

1. Assess barriers to team effectiveness
2. Identify attributes of high performance teams
3. Use tools and techniques to build high performance teams

Activities
You will individually assess your own team effectiveness, and then within small groups you will develop a team contract and team charter. You will leave with a 15-step checklist to improve team effectiveness.

Integrating Knowledge through Action

Training is only the first step to getting results; now that you have the awareness, knowledge, and skills, you will want to consciously determine what attitudes and behavior you want to model. You will be able to motivate yourself by understanding the benefits to you and measuring your progress. By actively working on your action plan, you will start to create positive rituals that will successfully improve your management skills.

Activities
As we summarize, you will review all of the concepts, tools, and techniques, then you will individually assess your developmental needs from each module and develop an overall leadership action plan to improve and enhance your professional management skills.

Details

Who should attend?

This leadership series is appropriate for anyone who wishes to be perceived as an exceptional, respected, thoughtful leader--regardless of their status, authority, or position. As we know, managers are not necessarily leaders, and there are many individuals we have known to be great leaders in society and our communities who are not supervisors of anyone by title. What spearates exceptional and highly-effective leaders from the average leader is their ability to collaborate and communicate successfully with others. So make no mistake: this class will benefit you in your personal life as well as in your work environment.

What’s my investment?

We designed and scheduled this series in order to deliver maximum value for your time and money. With an investment of just two (2) days and $595, you'll receive 16 PDUs. That's just over $37 per PDU--one of the quickest and most affordable ways for you to prepare yourself for exceptional leadership.
