DEI Leadership Conference Oct 18th

This workshop can be taken as a stand-alone workshop or as part of the Foundational Leadership Certificate Series.  Just exactly where does that buck stop?  Good managers know how to delegate, but it can be a challenge to manage employees who are more interested in passing the buck than being responsible for it.

A recent article of TIME magazine purported to explain “why we have entered the post-trust era.” Indeed, we seem to be in a time where people act inappropriately and then refuse to take responsibility for their actions. Who can we blame for world issues, or contentions over religion, or the outcomes of our governments, or the state of the environment? More to the point, why do we spend so much time and energy looking to pin the blame on someone (usually anyone but ourselves)? With this in mind, it’s no wonder that organizations who promote accountability are more successful and more productive. In this workshop, you will learn about what accountability is, how to promote it in your organization, and how to become more accountable to yourself and others. Learning Objectives Understand what accountability is and what events in history have shaped our view of it Explore the cycle of accountability Identify requirements for personal accountability including assertiveness & attitude Discover elements needed for managers and supervisors to create a culture of accountability Examine case studies to better understand what needs to be done to foster & maintain accountability Build skills required for accountability including goal setting & setting expectations Learn to write a clear agreement to support communication & accountability Create an Action Plan for application Who Should Attend Supervisors Managers Team Leads Individual Contributors When Tuesday, December 12 9:00 AM - 2:00 PM Where Live Online Fee The fees apply to each individual (one seat) and differ depending on your membership level.

Advanced Manager Series  The role of the manager in today’s uncertain and quickly changing workplace has shifted dramatically. They need to do more to meet the needs and expectations of their talented, independent and, in many cases, remote workforce. They must serve as coach and mentor, be accessible and remain communicative. Their responsibilities are larger than assuring the work is performed; they have to ensure that workers are content as well. The level of responsibility and accountability placed on managers is greater today than it has ever been which is why your managers need training and support now more than ever.  Our Advanced Manager Series will support your managers with meeting these demands.  Through our blended learning approach, participants learn the critical management skills they need to succeed.  The skills are first introduced in our instructor-led workshops and then supplemented through the new group coaching sessions that have been added to the series.  Participants are given the opportunity to reflect upon what they’ve learned to date, discuss what they’ve been able to apply and explore any roadblocks.  This blended approach includes all the elements necessary for learning and applying the new and necessary skills. Managers, supervisors and team leads will have a chance to explore six critical topics for their development. Click on the content tab above for a description of each course in the series. Each class is dedicated to building your advanced management skills and insight. We focus on conflict identification and resolution, how to build an effective high-performing team, and how to deal with problem employees (including the proper way to dismiss them if need be). You'll also learn strategies for acquiring buy-in from those above you in the organization and how to coach individual team members to optimal performance all year round, not just at the annual performance review. REMEMBER: Everything you learn in this program will expand your leadership capabilities. You can become a stronger team leader and a more productive and valued member of your organization.
