LEADERSHIP MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND SKILL DEVELOPMENT CURRICULUM
’s Leadership Management Training and Skill Development Curriculum is deployed in the context of established strategy and/or current strategic activity and/or as stand-alone training to achieveeffective communication methodologies and transformational leadership behaviors. Our ready-made, on-the-self training is geared to nurture and grow the leaders of tomorrow.
SKILLS FOR EXECUTIVES, MANAGERS, AND TEAM LEADERS
These skills build verbal and non-verbal communication and behavioral competence and confidence in fostering positive interactions for win-win outcomes. The focus of this skill set is to promote team leadership, employee accountability, and empowerment. The ‘manager’ acts as coach and leader to build a work environment which promotes participation and ‘Doing The Right Thing, The Right Way’ in a values-driven, customer- and process-focused context. Our job is to nurture and grow the future leaders of the world.
THE FOUNDATION SKILLS SERIES:
Doing The Right Thing, The Right Way: Focus on Customer Service This module is an awareness-building foundation that makes sure participants know what the Right Thing is and what they can do to make it a reality. It establishes a case for action, communicates concepts, and raises awareness by focusing on the enterprise products and services from the customer’s point-of-view. It emphasizes the need to exceed customer expectations in support of enterprise vision, values, culture, culminating in a Blueprint for Success Action Plan.
Doing The Right Thing, The Right Way: Focus on Leadership Keys To Success This module first covers the key aspects of a leader’s role in customer-, process-, and people-focus. It empowers employees, builds commitment, and sustains momentum. It articulates the key strategies for consistently improving leadership at every level by Doing The Right Things, The Right Way. The second half of the module shows how everyone can use the four keys to success to create a climate of cooperation, idea sharing, and working together for a common purpose. The keys provide a set of behaviors for putting the enterprise’s values into practice, in support of the vision and culture.
Listening This is the first of two critical communication modules truly required both for transformational leadership and for managerial excellence. Our EARS model and skill practice instil Listening skills in leaders at whatever level, be it individual contributor or executive.
Questioning The second of our communication modules builds on Listening and is consistent with our sales questioning model. The IDEA model and skill practice instil Questioning skills and enhance Listening skills.
Customer Expectations This module stresses that The Right Thing begins and ends with the customer, whether internal or external. Using our CARE model, participants learn to uncover customer expectations, create partnerships with customers, and devise plans to meet requirements and meet or exceed expectations, thus setting the groundwork for efficient, pleasant, and effective work and human transactions.
Satisfying Customers Having confirmed clear expectations, we expect those to be satisfied, resulting in happy customers. Our TRUSTT model helps set that direction. But, if we should need to satisfy dissatisfied customers whose expectations have not been met, especially those who might even be abusive, we have our N-RAGE model for the skill of resolving dissatisfaction by diffusing customer annoyance and refocusing on the resolution of the problem.
THEPERFORMANCE MANAGEMENT SKILLS SERIES:
Praising Performance This deals with shaping desired future performance or behavior. We believe recognition and reward are highly valued tools for performance improvement. We introduce the skill of giving positive feedback through our HEART model and, equally importantly, how to receive recognition through our DART model.
Constructive Criticism Here we deal with constructively handling undesired performance or behavior. We believe it’s essential to learn how to deliver objective, honest and meaningful feedback effectively to others. Since it can be difficult to provide or receive negative feedback, we offer two skill models: DARE (to provide) and TRIPLE-A (to receive).
Constructive Confrontation We believe conflict arises from clashes of perceptions, goals, and/or values in an arena where people care about outcomes. It must be managed carefully and constructively in every direction regardless of level, power, or who initiates the constructive confrontation process. Our ADDRESS model teaches confrontation skills to whomever takes on the leadership role of addressing conflict.
Handling Emotional Behavior This module focuses on the knowledge, skills, and importance for all employees at all levels to work together, across functions, to make decisions to improve the enterprise. It provides the skills for dealing successfully with emotional behavior.
Coaching For Success This module deals with instruction, correction, and redirection to maximize enterprise performance. We believe, if properly delivered, it’s emotionally neutral rather than negative, is an integral tool in teaching and developing others, and is usually greeted with gratitude rather than resistance. Here we introduce our REDPOP (instruction) and COACH (correction/redirection) models.
THE RIGHT THING, THE RIGHT WAY SKILLS SERIES:

The focus is on empowerment, accountability, and improvement in the context of effective communication methodologies and transformational leadership behaviors. Our job is to nurture and grow thefuture leaders of the world.
