Adventures In Attitude Executive Edition
ENEGERIZING A POSITIVE WORKFORCE AND LEADING FOR POSITIVE RESULTS
When managers want to help employees to do their best work, they need to understand how their personal motivation, emotional intelligence, and leadership skills influence the process to effect performance and lasting change.
"We just finished Units One and Two of Adventures in Attitudes and it was excellent!
We got really great feedback from the participants who said that they could see this
program could impact our organization's culture if everyone in our
Company went through it. Unit One (Communication) was very revealing for
the participants. The emphasis on Listening and the whole message was
fantastic."
Paul Young, Employee Development Rep., D&E Communications
Employee attitude is increasingly cited as the number one performance-related issue of companies, and the top skills defined by employers as being critical in the employee workforce are the following:
- Communication
- Adaptability
- Personal Management
- Group Effectiveness
- Leadership
If managers are expected to develop their employees they need to learn to manage employee outcomes and not their attitudes. Attitudes come from internal belief systems. Behaviors are a result of attitudes and are observable. In order to manage others, managers need a thorough understanding of their own belief systems as well as excellent communication skills. AIA Executive Edition focuses on developing critical skills in the areas of:
- Receiving Feedback
- Listening & Empathy
- Personal Management
- Team Leadership
- Emotional Intelligence
- Accountability
- Individual Development Planning
AIA Executive Edition consists of 4 eight-hour modules, providing a range of scheduling options. Spacing the full-day modules allowing executives to practice the skills they learn and return to the classroom to share and report results helps participants synthesize their learning. Executives receive direct report feedback as a baseline for their professional development. Multiple group exercises are designed to practice leadership, creative problem-solving, communication skills and crucial conversations. In short, executives and managers practice all the skills and strategies necessary to develop their employees, what organizations need most from today’s leaders
HOW AIA EXECUTIVE EDITION BENEFITS ORGANIZATIONS
Managers need mind expanding experience to help them motivate others. The AIA Executive Edition motivates mangers from the inside out. Each of the projects and direct report feedback causes participants to focus on important questions, such as:
- How do I establish trust with direct reports?
- How do I handle people problems at home and at work?
- What is my emotional intelligence I.Q.?
- What are my attitudes toward work? Do they need to be changed? How?
- How can I improve my management skills?
- How can I steer the creative process?
- How can I plan for succession?
The beauty of the process is that participants come to their own conclusions, each in their own individual way. It’s inspiring to see how frequently the “ah-ha:” moments strike even the most seasoned leader. This understanding is the key to establishing personal responsibility and accountability in their workforce.
Managers commonly express welcome surprise at the outcomes of the sessions and the impact their learning has on their success. Most express heartfelt gratitude for the extension the course has on their personal lives as well. This is not your typical workshop.
WHY IT’S WORTH THE INVESTMENT
Whatever results you are striving for – efficiency, productivity, creativity, revenue, a fully engaged leader with a fully engaged following will get you there. When employees are fully engaged and excited about their contributions, the results you want will follow. The secret rests in the journey. AIA Executive Edition helps participants approach leadership and deal with challenges in a positive way, which leads to permanent and lasting change in organizations.
