Recognition, Reward, and Motivation Training

Fundamental to effective leadership is the ability to inspire others to superior effort and performance. Three key competencies that are required to accomplish this task are a genuine interest in others, the ability to set goals and build effective rewards into the context of work, and the ability to motivate people to pursue the goals that have been set out.

In our workshop on Recognition, Reward, and Motivation, we:

• Discuss how to provide vision to build cohesive, effective teams
• Learn to reinforce desired behavior, and build skills in others using recognition as a motivator
• Practice how to institute a "Developmental Mindset” with your team
• Learn how to tailor rewards to individual motivational patterns
• Set goals for using this information within the participants’ current teams

Leading with Integrity Training

Today’s business climate stresses the need for transparency, accountability, and integrity from organizational leaders at all levels. Integrity has a number of different sub-dimensions including genuineness, openness, and altruism. In many ways, we believe integrity lies at the heart of strong leadership.

In our workshop on Integrity, participants will:

• Discuss what we mean by Integrity and why it is important in leadership
• Understand and apply a model for sound, ethical decision making
• Conduct an "Integrity Pitfalls & Integrity Enhancer” analysis
• Discover the "Integrity Tool Box”: Six tools that help to create and lead with Integrity, and apply at least one to a problem the leaders face today
• Build/enhance leaders’ Integrity compasses
• Set goals to enhance personal, team, and organizational Integrity

Converting Tactics into Strategy Training

By far our most common developmental suggestion to emerging leaders is to improve their strategic orientation. This involves broadening the scope of decision-making to incorporate organizational strategy, as well as understanding the complex system in which all organizational decisions are made.

In "Converting Tactics to Strategy," participants will:

• Discuss what strategy is and why it is important
• Discuss the difference between strategy and strategic planning
• Discuss what we mean by strategic thinking and how it differs from tactical thinking
• Discuss the characteristics of a strategic thinker
• Open the "Strategic Thinking Tool Box”, learn two methods for thinking strategically, and put them into practice by applying them to current business challenges
• Set goals to apply the tools learned to a business challenge
