Leadership Connections: Engaging Performance™
Manage the Environment, Not
People!
The primary role of managers is to manage
the environment! We cannot really manage people… they do either
what they want to do, or what they believe they have to do. What
we want managers to do is to create an environment where people
want to, and can excel… where they can, and do, perform at their
best!
So any development program for managers
must focus on developing the knowledge and skills needed to
manage the work environment. In their efforts to improve
productivity, many managers over-control people, and use the
fear of negative consequences to obtain compliance or obedience.
The result is a highly toxic environment in which talented
people refuse to work… they leave. And those who do stay are
more focused on staying out of trouble than they are on being
productive. The end result is that this kind of manager achieves
the exact opposite of what they are intending… lower
productivity. And of course they blame it on their people.
Leadership Connections™is specifically
designed to help managers learn how to create the kind of
environment where their people can excel.
Here is Why our program Works
We utilize the CORE Training Approach™
to insure that what gets learned gets applied, which then
impacts performance.
Distributive Learning:
Managers are not the only ones that are learning. As part of the
process, they take what they have learned in the classroom back
to their employees, engaging them in various activities and
discussions. Not only do the manager’s of your organization
receive learning from the process, but everyone in your
organization learns! And the application exercises insure that
what gets learned gets put into action, not left on a shelf.
Team Building: As a
result of the Distributive Learning approach, managers begin to
build Trust with their employees, creating a relationship with
them that leads to employee engagement. They also begin to help
their employees work together more efficiently and effectively,
helping them to understand each other and how they “fit”
together. Over the long term of the process we actually are
conducting Team Building in a way that no other “team building”
training can accomplish. It is real-time and on-going, and
results in increased productivity!
Customization: Because
of the way Leadership Connections™ has been designed, the
implementation is unique in each organization. This means it
will work for your organization because it is applied uniquely
to your organization.
