Discover the 7 Deadly Sins DISC Trainers Make and How To Avoid Them

Essential Skills of Leadership

Impact

Managers and team leaders will be able to:

Interact with team members on a day-to-day basis in such a way as to maintain and enhance their self- esteem.

Base discussions about performance and work habits on behavior rather than on personalities and attitudes.

Involve team members in goal setting, problem solving and decision- making.

Essential Skills of Leadership (ESL) is the first step to developing successful managers. By focusing on three critical management skills, the program establishes a methodology for productive interactions between team members and team leaders. ESL helps experienced managers, new managers, and aspiring managers refocus on the basics – the skills required to manage the individual while also leading the team.

Program Description
Essential Skills of Leadership builds a foundation that enables managers to manage their team toward a shared goal: achieving the organization’s strategic objectives. Throughout the workshop, participants will review video presentations and case studies, participate in group discussions, practice new skills and receive immediate feedback. Managers will leave the session with implementation tools, troubleshooting guides, and additional resources to help them immediately apply their new skills on the job.

The 4-to-5 hour workshop is designed for 6 to18 participants and includes the following areas of focus:
Maintain or Enhance Team Member Self-Esteem
Develops the critical skills necessary to effectively delegate, evaluate performance, correct work habits, deal with complaints, and resolve conflicts while supporting a team member’s sense of self-respect and dignity.
Focus on Behavior
Problems on the job are solved more effectively and less stressfully when a manager deals with what people do rather than with their attitudes or personal characteristics.
Encourage Team Member Participation
Involving team members in decision-making, problem solving and other activities is one of the most powerful motivational tools.
