Building a Learning Organization
According to Peter Senge learning organizations are:“…organizations where people continually expand their capacity to create the results they truly desire, where new and expansive patterns of thinking are nurtured, where collective aspiration is set free, and where people are continually learning to see the whole together.”
Focusing on Mid-level Managers: Culture and Sustainability
• Mentoring and coaching of mid-level managers has a trickle-down effect on the support and development these managers provide to the staff they supervise and to the quality and consistency of the services delivered
• Managers are a critical resource in an organization as they not only provide stability and continuity; they are in the unique position to affect all phases of service delivery culture
• The effective training and development of middle-level directors and managers is not a one-time training program or effort
• To build a high performing and sustainable employment program the combination of best practice approaches and tools must be combined with a systematic mentoring and coaching process for mid-level directors and managers which develops both management and leadership competencies
Tools
• Employment Services Core Competencies• Standard Operating Procedures and Practices• Training Curricula/Trainer’s Guides for Managers• Consistent Tools for Employment Team Members• Management Core Competencies• Leadership Core Competencies and Practices
Value of Individualized Development
• Each person is at unique place relative to their training, experience and development• Each person will face unique challenges with their working
environment and culture• One size does not fit all• Professional development is not a course it is a process• The development of effective leadership and management skills
requires both knowledge and practice
