THE MANAGERS AND SUPERVISORS CONFERENCE

In this conference you'll learn...

Dream a little ... what could you accomplish if your team was so motivated, you had to hold it back? A committed, energized team can work miracles. In this session, you´ll learn the keys to releasing the untapped energy within each employee. Relax ... you don´t have to get gushy or act in ways that are uncomfortable. These everyday tips are so simple, they´ll become second nature in no time.
Remember how excited your employees were when they first started with your company? You couldn´t hold them back. But now they´re in a rut—perhaps because they´ve been in the same job too long, view their contributions as unimportant or simply lack challenging work. Whatever the reason, it´s time for you to step in. Here we´ll prescribe a collection of "tonics" based on a little fun, a little psychology and a whole lot of practical insight into what it takes to get back the magic.
You´ve assembled a team of great employees. You´ve fired them up with motivation. Now give them a chance to reach their full potential by delegating projects and authority to them. In this session, you´ll discover when, how and what to delegate ... how to overcome your fear of letting go ... and how to use the power of delegation to encourage employees out of their comfort zones and into new levels of performance.
As a manager continually striving to promote teamwork and cooperation, don´t overlook the golden opportunity hidden in a workplace conflict. Yes ... disagreements, anger and emotions can damage relationships and hurt productivity. But in this session, you´ll learn how to skillfully manage conflicts to get positive results—a stronger team, more allies and an improved bottom line. You´ll walk out with a fresh, new attitude toward conflict and the know-how to put this potent tool to work for you.
Nothing can help you achieve success more quickly than a team of people committed to your goals. But sometimes a difficult employee will test your limits and threaten to undermine all your hard work. You must step in ... and this "here´s-how-to-do-it" information makes it easier and less stressful. You´ll learn what to say and do to address the employee, correct the behavior and keep your team moving full speed ahead.
Managing when and how the work gets done is hands-down one of the toughest challenges you face. If you don´t set clear and realistic expectations, match tasks to employee skills and communicate your vision, your goals may be nothing more than pieces of paper. Attend this session and learn how the principles of performance management can help you develop people who take ownership in their jobs and are continuously stretching, improving and growing.
Being in a leadership role can be a mixed bag. Along with the obvious satisfaction and rewards come tough demands and responsibilities ... you´re expected to solve problems, make difficult or unpopular decisions, maintain high credibility, explain "management´s" position to employees and be able to maintain your cool in the face of disagreement. In this session, you´ll get specific strategies, techniques and ideas to help you cope with the challenges unique to your job.
No one´s immune to failures ... in today´s competitive environment, the essential survival skill that separates the winners from the losers is the ability to bounce back. In this session, you´ll learn how to rebound after a defeat, strategies for beating stress, tips on acting decisively and how to turn setbacks into springboards to success.
We´ve all done it—hired candidates who seemed great in the interview but turned out
What would it be worth to you to feel on top of your ability to think on your feet, respond appropriately (instead of just react) to situations, lead meetings, speak before groups, write memos and e-mails with finesse? This session gives you the opportunity to take charge of the most important leadership skill of all—effective communication—without making embarrassing mistakes. Come learn the "how-to´s" of communicating in formal and informal settings, interacting with poise and professionalism up and down the ladder and gaining the respect of others you need to do your job.
