Recognition: The Key to Higher Performance
Featuring John Hersey
Historically, praise and recognition in the workplace have been handled from the perspective of, ???if you don't hear anything, assume you're doing a good job.' In contrast to this ???old industrial workplace' mindset, the new knowledge-based worker relies and depends upon praise and recognition as the means of defining what is valued by the organization. Today, praise and recognition are communication vehicles for what is deemed as important.
Companies that manage people right will outperform companies that don't by 30% to 40%.

?? Contagious Leadership
?? The "Recognize Five" strategy

How to Avoid Hiring and Recruiting Mistakes
Featuring Harvey Mackay
Human capital is - without question - the most valuable business resource. How do you find winners in a competitive marketplace? How do you identify those most likely to succeed? And, equally important, how do you filter out those candidates who are not fit for your organization? To address these questions, you will hear from Harvey Mackay in this session.
As a lifelong entrepreneur, Mackay's philosophies on recruiting and hiring have been well-tested in the marketplace. As a best-selling author, Mackay's books, including Swim with the Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive and Beware the Naked Man Who Offers You His Shirt, have sold more than 10 million copies in nearly 100 countries and his syndicated newspaper column has been read by additional millions of readers.

Seven Steps to Effective Delegation

?? Skills of effective delegation
?? Focus on the end result
?? Build trust, commitment and confidence
Personal Communication Skills

In other cases, have you ever known leaders who are comfortable in front of an audience, but seem to have a difficult time selling ideas to a small group of peers?
Dr. Jim Hennig says that the single most under-developed leadership skill is the ability to speak and communicate effectively. In this session, Dr. Hennig will address the challenges and opportunities of refining your Personal Communication Skills
?? The seven principles of communication
?? The platinum rule of communicating
?? Lose yourself in your purpose
Establishing Goals & Priorities
Featuring Zig Ziglar
Basketball great Michael Jordan once said never worry about the consequences of missing a big shot, because when you think about consequences, you always think in terms of negative results.
Zig Ziglar believes that most people don't worry about the consequences of missing a big shot, but for a totally different reason. He says most people don't even have a a basket ... or a goal ... to shoot for in the first place.
Zig Ziglar has been referred to as "America's ambassador to the world." Millions of people, in more than 100 countries, have read his best-selling books, including See You At The Top and Top Performance. He is one of the world's most sought-after and highly paid speakers.

Two full days of leadership solutions
You know how to get things done. You're one the best in your field. You're a problem solver. That's what got you promoted. Congratulations! Now, you've got a new challenge; a new set of problems. You're no longer responsible for just your personal performance, but that of your entire team. How do you get your team to move in the same direction? How can you get your former co-workers to respect you as the leader? How do you get the entire team to participate in achieving your department's goals? How do you deal with difficult people and situations? How do ensure everything gets done without killing yourself (and your team)?
Being a manager or supervisor demands a new set of skills; leading people. Your technical ability and attitude can only take you so far; your success depends on your team's success. Your success depends directly on your ability to get things done through others.

Now What?: to provide you with the practical tips, techniques and solutions you need for success without bringing on the hard knocks that come with on-the-job training. This intensive two days focuses on the unique challenges you face every day as a manager or supervisor and offers solutions to help you fully achieve your potential; not just as a manager or supervisor, but as a true leader who commands the respect, commitment and credibility that moves people to action.
