Many supervisors and managers in today's workforce have been promoted into their positions because they excelled at the technical aspects of their jobs.  They may be highly skilled individuals, but often lack the experience to manage and supervise people with solid leadership abilities.

We offer a wide array of courses and programs to help develop these abilities.

Courses in this area include:

Succession Planning: Developing Leaders Before It's Too Late

Organizations often discuss the brain drain that lies ahead in the next decade, but only a few managers take sufficient action to prepare for it.  The pressure to manage today's priorities leaves organizations with precious little time to implement strategies for tomorrow.  However, neglecting the next generation of leaders can lead to significant disruptions.  This class assists you in seamlessly navigating changing times.  It provides a systematic approach to ensuring readiness for key staff departures while also addressing related concerns such as organizational restructuring, filling newly created positions, backfilling roles following promotions and expanding new endeavors or markets.

Strategic Planning: Effective Teams Make All the Difference

Effective teams are the cornerstone of any successful strategic planning effort. In this one-day course, you will learn skills to assemble and manage an effective team that will take an idea and turn it into action. After taking this course, you will be able to identify key people to have on your team, develop a timeline and structure for the planning efforts and efficiently guide your team to a successful outcome.
