LEADERSHIP GROWTH

BASICS OF

LEADERSHIP

The fundamentals of leadership are the following: setting expectations, holding people accountable, giving people responsibility, and motivating others.  For any leader to be successful, he or she must master these baseline skills.  They are the baseline activities which support effective daily work.  We will learn and solve all of the above using the interactive Supply Chain Simulation called “The Fresh Connection”

LEADERSHIP

COMMUNICATION 

Organizations focus on technical skills as all-important to succeeding in the workplace. Strong interpersonal skills are equally essential in building individual contributors into exceptional leaders who have a greater impact in their roles.

LEADERSHIP

ACCOUNTABILITY AND 

RESPONSIBILITY

At organizations, projects begin, tasks assigned, efforts are made, deadlines set, and then missed.  Deliverables get promised but not delivered but not delivered.  Agreements are misunderstood or never made.  It’s typically not people wanting to do a bad job.  It’s usually because we fail to communicate in a clear or specific manner about tasks assigned or accepted.

LEADERSHIP

DELEGATION

While most leaders understand the need to delegate, they are often hesitant to invest the time and effort up front. They need to be catalysts who transfer responsibility and authority to achieve key results and enhance the capabilities of their teams.

LEADERSHIP  

INTERVIEWING AND SELECTING EMPLOYEES

Selecting well qualified employees is one of the most important responsibilities of a manager. In vest the time up front and you’ll be repaid with employees who require less training, provide better service, and stay with the organization longer.  In addition, these same employees will be those who take you through these difficult economic times as they match the requirements of the job and the organization’s culture.

LEADERSHIP

GOAL SETTING

Achieving business results requires lining up employee's individual goals with overall organizational strategy and goals. Leaders must help people see how their efforts contribute to the success—or failure—of the organization.

LEADERSHIP

MONITORING AND DEVELOPING PEOPLE

Organizations need to help their employees succeed and maximize performance as well as employees want the opportunity to do more and grow. Developing others is critical to retaining talent, driving higher levels of employee engagement, and ultimately impacts an organization’s success.

LEADERSHIP

MOTIVATING PEOPLE

Motivation is tightly tied to employee productivity and retention. It’s up to leaders to spark this high level of sustained energy and peak performance in people.

LEADERSHIP

PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT

Performance measurement is the regular systematic collection, analysis and reporting of data that tracks resources used, work produced and whether specific outcomes were achieved.  We must identify and utilize measures that are critical to the success of the organization.  As well, these same measures must help us identify potential problems before something goes wrong so we can take early corrective action

​

LEADERSHIP​ TEAM SKILLS

WORKING WITH GROUPS AND PEOPLE EFFECTIVELY BEING ABLE TO WORK WITH OUR COLLEAGUES SUCCESSFULLY

We all have good days and bad days at work and through it all,we need to be able to perform our work alongside our colleagues.  We spend a great portion of our lives at our workplace so it’s important our work relations be strong.  To accomplish this, we have to develop group-work skills.  We have to have the ability to cooperate and collaborate. We have to be able to hold ourselves accountable and responsible as well as our colleagues, and we have to have effective social and team skills.

LEADERSHIP

DECISION MAKING

Today, work moves fast and is turbulent.  As a leader, you usually don’t have the luxury of time, or all of the information needed when making decisions. You need to quickly size up the situation, identify the most workable course of action, and then act. 

LEADERSHIP

LEADING CHANGE

Forget Change Management!  It’s not just leading change, it’s sustaining it too.  It’s about looking and thinking out ahead of our employees and putting in place the activities and structures that combat the limiting dynamics that work against change.

LEADERSHIP

MEETING SKILLS

Helps leaders save time, save resources, and lead meetings that support business needs. Leaders learn how to plan, facilitate, and follow-up on meetings to ensure success.

LEADERSHIP

RESOLVING CONFLICT

While most leaders understand the need to delegate, they are often hesitant to invest the time and effort up front. They need to be catalysts who transfer responsibility and authority to achieve key results and enhance the capabilities of their teams.
