Description
COURSE OVERVIEW:
This one-day workshop focuses on managers themselves and how they might improve the way they handle situations. As managers, we all have flaws in our game and areas we can work to improve on, whether it is communicating, work-life balance or team building.
The material contains suggestions for self-improvement and will use scenarios to help you gain a working knowledge and practice finding solutions for these skills.
Topics covered include running an effective meeting, stress management and handling public relations.
This will be an interactive workshop that encourages and solicits attendees’ participation in the problem solving. Attendees will be encouraged to add their own situations they have encountered, and the class will work together to help find a solution.
The best way to build a successful plan or person is start with the foundation and build up “from the boots”. If we wish for our employees to respond to us in a positive way, and make our lives more productive and successful, we must start with “The man in the mirror”. This course is about building strategies to help managers be more successful and do more in less time. Let’s start building a better manager “From the Boots Up”.
