Lead, Manage, and Change
This course is designed to distinguish the differences between leadership and management. It will identify specific leadership and management behaviors and illustrate when each is appropriate. On that foundation, the emotional cycle of change is discussed and participants learn to apply certain leadership behaviors to help move people effectively through change. Finally, teams are defined and the only real competitive advantage is understood, the People.The Four Factors of Leadership and The Decision Making Continuum
Leading effectively requires a complete analysis and understanding of the four factors of leadership: the led, the leader, the situation, and communication. Participants learn to identify those four factors of leadership and how they affect each other and mission or task accomplishment. With the foundation of the four factors of leadership, the decision-making continuum is analyzed and six decision making styles are discussed. Participants learn when and how to employ all six styles in order to be effective.Leadership and Delegation
Leadership is the process of influencing other to accomplish a task by providing purpose, direction, and motivation. By definition a great leader is one who is able to influence others to accomplish a task. The personal style the leader adopts will determine the extent to which influence is excepted and acted upon. This workshop identifies the different styles available for leaders in any given situation. Once again, we learn that one style is not always correct. Understanding which style to apply when and how is the key to unlocking the participant's leadership potential.Sensory Based Communication
Participants learn to identify effective communication from ineffective communication and acquire specific active listening skills. Each participant learns the three communication channels, which channel is their preference, how to identify the channel preferences of others, and how best to communicate with each preference channel. An in depth analysis of sorting styles is also conducted which identifies sixteen different ways in which people process information. Understanding the communication channels and sorting styles is linked back to ensure effective communication.Performance Feedback
How often do we think, feel, or know something that we do not share with those with whom we work because we are afraid that the exchange of information will damage the relationship? The real question is…. How effective could we become if we learn to constructively give and receive reinforcing and re-directive feedback in a way that allows us to work better together? This workshop properly defines feedback, provides the model to give and receive feedback, and allows participants to practice using the model.Managing Conflict
Dealing with conflict begins with an understanding of its origin. An interactive discussion is held with participants on beliefs, values, & norms. The connection to conflict is established and participants begin to build the foundation for dealing effectively with conflict. Through a video tape demonstration and an experiential scenario, participants learn and apply successful strategies and techniques for dealing with conflict. This workshop goes beyond compromise to the ultimate level of collaboration.Planning and Time Management
The success or failure of a mission or task is often dependent on the quality of the plan. In the Ranger world, success or failure means the difference between life and death. Planning and time management are not optional. This workshop delivers the tips, techniques, and procedures used by today's US Rangers to develop an operations plan and manage the available time. Upon completion of this workshop participants will have the tools necessary to develop a detailed and realistic plan - complete with contingencies and alternatives. Whether the project is big or small, this time tested and battlefield proven methodology will enhance your chances for dramatic success.Meeting Management
Meetings, meetings, meetings!!! What would it be worth to have fewer, more effective meetings that always end in action and behavior that are meaningfully different than before the meeting? This workshop engages the participants in a series of discussions that uncovers specific tips and techniques for having successful meetings including the roles of meeting participants and the agenda among other points. Through a video tape presentation and in depth discussion, participants leave with the tools necessary to have highly effective meetings.Contact Us for more information or to schedule a workshop
