TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP AND SUPERVISION
2 Levels Of Training
(2 DAY)
-
Individuals, teams and departments…each has their own character, unique knowledge, held assumptions, biases, personalities and skillsets. And, because of that variety, it is easy for conflict, differences and disruptive behaviours to emerge. Help get individuals, teams and the entire organization to change with this eye-opening program!
Every workplace contends with this; Sometimes conflict seems the norm, maybe it takes too long to get things done, and problems lurk in many corners. Too often individuals and groups seem to work more against each other rather than with each other. As a leader, what do you do? How do you get individuals and teams, who are all part of the bigger picture, willingly “pulling on the oars” in the same direction?
We help you tackle this at 2 levels.
-
Leaders learn new coaching skills, new ways to manage performance that gets results, without resistance. Using a sophisticated computer simulation tool you and the other participants coach a Supervisor from struggling to success. The exercise is intensive, comprehensive and realistic. The answers do not come easily, but you leave the training with new principles to apply, a new language and techniques that you can use tomorrow!

“It wasn’t what I expected just based on other training I participated in, but surprising in a positive way. Fun and informative!
It was not at all what I thought it was going to be. It was different but in a good way. It kept us engaged and focused and also fun.
Great presenter, the tools are great and hold your attention. The presentation is balanced with presentation, practice and conducive to learning & growing as a leader.
Was a great 2 days of learning and fun. And information that will make me a better worker, coworker and a better person in my person life.
I really liked the roleplay scenarios we covered. Before the roleplay, I was very nervous on how I would approach a professional conversation using Activation techniques- once the roleplays started and I had to coordinate the conversation, I realized how much easier directing a conversation can be when you understand the end goal and how to go about directing that conversation before starting it. Following training, I believe I will be able to identify and apply which of the 3A’s is applicable during conversations with coworkers and I will have a better chance at directing a conversation the way I want it to go.
It was almost completely interactive, and we learned through talking which works best for me because I process out loud. The topic was great and showed me the skills and knowledge other staff have that I don’t often get to see. The facilitator was engaging, understood our work climate, and was quite helpful.
