Resolving Workplace Conflict [In-person]
Tuesday, March 07, 2023 | 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Today’s complex business dynamics and fierce global competition force organizations to continually ramp up productivity, improve quality, shorten cycle times, and reduce costs. An unfortunate, but natural, by-product is workplace conflict. Such pressures inevitably cause people with different personalities, communication styles, priorities, and values to have differences at one time or another. One of the course’s key messages is that leaders must help employees accept accountability for owning and resolving their workplace conflicts. Leaders learn to do this by leveraging two intervention tactics: coaching and, if the conflict remains unresolved, mediating. It’s also important that leaders are able to recognize the warning signs of conflict so that they can take the appropriate action. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Addressing Poor Performance [Virtual]
Thursday, March 09, 2023 | 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Some leaders still struggle with staff who exhibit poor performance or work habits despite repeated coaching. This module will build a leader’s skills and confidence in handling chronic performance problems. Leaders will learn how to focus on operational and behavioral issues and how to overcome defensive reactions, such as deflecting, blaming, and redirecting. Gathering and using data to provide effective feedback and balancing seeking and telling to gain commitment for improvement will also be reviewed. Finally, using their own or other realistic scenarios, participants will practice conducting performance improvement discussions. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).

Developing Yourself and Others [ In-person]
Tuesday, March 14, 2023 | 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM
Developing Yourself and Others: Research tells us employee engagement is the primary enabler of the successful execution of organizational strategy, and no one impacts the state of engagement and retention more than an employee’s immediate leader. This module provides leaders with a model for determining what drives an individual’s engagement as well as methods for proactively engaging and retaining talent. Leaders will learn how to conduct engagement and retention conversations and explore ways to recognize people, using no-cost everyday methods to create an engaging environment. Please note, this session is limited to leaders who currently manage others and who are also enrolled in the Leadership Certification Program (LCP).
