Leadership in Action Workshop — Help your new leaders at any level understand the impact of their actions in their new roles as leaders. This interactive workshop is designed around your leadership values/principles and the most current thinking about the role of leaders. The objective is to move the leader from an intellectual understanding of leadership to the creation of daily and weekly priorities to instill active leadership into the organization.

Leadership Application Workshop — The LAW class is intended as a boot camp for middle and upper level managers. The format is almost totally on decision-making at that level of the organization to create the "big picture" view of all the issues and consequences that should be considered.

Compensation Workshop — A hands-on session to understand and then create tools and processes for the effective implementation of the total rewards systems in the organization. A toxic situation in a company is the inconsistent understanding and application of the reward system. This is a workshop to get those with compensation responsibility "on the same page" with each other in how the various aspects are to be applied.

Account Survey Action Planning — Employee survey of any kind can be extremely detrimental to an organization if the management response is not effective. Asking employees for their opinion is great only if management truly plans to listen and respond. This workshop helps the management team interpret the results, craft a communication plan, build an action plan and effectively execute that plan at all levels of the organization. This workshop is held in several sessions over the course of the year to help keep the plan alive and on track.

Fifth Discipline Concepts Applied — The Systems thinking concepts of Peter Senge help clarify the forces within an organization that guide the behaviors and actions of employees at all levels. This action learning process first introduces the Five Disciplines and then applies them to critical issues facing the organization. The result is an action plan based on a systemic view of the problem, the organization, and solution.

Performance Review and Feedback — These workshops help leaders learn how to use the performance review process to effectively develop employees and correctly provide constructive feedback.

We help your team uncover core issues, imbedded thinking and organizational patterns that form the processes that really govern the environment.
