New High Engagement Culture Workshop for Front-line Leaders
A new experiential one-day High Engagement Culture Workshop for front-line leaders is part of our Culture By Design Workshop Series.
Focused on what managers control and can do immediately back on the job, it builds culture change insights and leads to the development of action strategies for creating a high-engagement workplace in their own area of influence.
Low on theoretical lectures and high on working out new practices and routines, it has received acclaim from both experienced and new managers.
Tuning up communications skills
Leaders facing challenging business situations know they need to communicate well and more often. The quality of the interactions build the trust, confidence, collaboration and understanding of context for high performance. Manager communications need to shift from good to great.
We have created a series of half day modules for managers but first we conduct a pre-test of leader behaviors and practices using the Communication Pulse, a culture assessment that examines leader behaviors and practices and the way they contribute to effective communications. This ensures that Communications, HR and Line Managers agree where capability development should be targeted and importantly how improvement will be measured.
Some topics include:
Knowing self - Interaction styes, listening with intent, asking the right questions, interaction with people with different styles
Communicating with others - Communicating expectations and managing priorities, giving and receiving feedback, influencing change through effective communicating
Communicating during difficult times - Giving feedback in difficult situations, having difficult conversations in conflict situations
Culture by design requires effective needs assessment, targeted development of leaders and great coaching.
