Management Development Training

Managing today is a complex, multi-faceted task. A good manager needs to “wear many hats” and wear them well! The manager must keep track of all elements under his or her direction, as well as control and respond quickly and effectively when required.

Management techniques without people sensitivity can become cold and negative. Humanistic management concepts can become too soft, too diplomatic and nonproductive. The combination of these two management philosophies can give us the best of both worlds: tough, result-oriented management with people sensitivity. In effect, we are placing the iron fist of management by objectives in the velvet glove of sensitivity and motivation. More than ever, managers need to have flexibility in management as opposed to a rigid way of dealing with people and situations. The end result can be action-oriented management that responds to people from a basic psychological need viewpoint. Often, the productivity of the team can greatly increase. That is why this management development training is so effective.

Goal-Setting: Your Key to Management!

Much like a road map, goals give direction to our professional and personal lives by providing the vision for what we want to achieve and the motivation that drives us toward our desired results. Having goals also enhances our ability to make sound decisions, improves our ability to manage our time, reduces stress and helps us to live happier, more fulfilled lives.

For some, setting goals proves to be quite challenging: like the directionally-challenged driver without a map, they simply don’t know where to start, which way to go, or where they’ll end up. For others, setting goals is easy; it’s achieving them that’s the challenge. In this workshop, you’ll identify the obstacles, fears and roadblocks that have prevented you from identifying and accomplishing your goals. You’ll also learn the importance of S.M.A.R.T. goals and will develop and implement a written plan to direct you towards achieving all of your professional and personal aspirations.
