Program ContentWork of all kinds is increasingly being performed by teams. Regardless of the type of team (i.e. self-directed, executive, project or departmental), leadership and facilitation effectiveness are always key ingredients. Unfortunately, team leadership skills cannot be learned via the internet. Thus we have created a fast-paced, demanding, highly interactive three-day developmental experience designed to: • Improve skills in leading in an empowered team-oriented workplace. • Combine strategic, tactical and personal content into an integrated approach to leadership. • Provide in-depth analysis/awareness of leadership style and abilities. • Provide in-depth insight into strengths, weaknesses and preferences. • Generate an action plan to improve leadership performance. • Create team synergy through a powerful collective experience.
TARGET AUDIENCE • Teams desiring to improve team effectiveness. • Managers at upper middle, middle and first levels who lead in a team environment. • Fast track high potential managers / leaders. • Employees needing to improve interpersonal skills.
Purpose and Objectives
Program AttributesThe ability of this program to effect real and lasting improvement in performance derives from several unique factors: • State-of-the-art content that fully integrates a series of models, tools, techniques and templates that leaders can use
to transform their teams effectiveness. The amount of content covered is extraordinary. • In-depth Assessment of strengths and weaknesses using a battery of psychometric instruments. • Boss/team member/peer input from the workplace on the participant’s current level of effectiveness via the
Executive Effectiveness Profile. • No one is ever bored. We mix intense difficult and compelling simulations with compressed content modules and
instrumented feedback to keep even the most impatient leaders focused. • Application-oriented instructor with extensive real world business experience and outstanding academic credentials.
Dr. Hanes has personally trained over 21,000 managers including numerous Fortune 500 CEO's, award winning scientists and high level executives from the public sector.
• Action Planning - Participants complete an extensive 24-page plan to transfer learning into enhanced performance. • Restricted class size (maximum 30) permits personal attention.

Participants form 3 competing companies starting with identical products and market share.

Pre-Program AssessmentPrior to the program, each participant receives a packet of forms, questionnaires and instruments. Completing these instruments requires the participant to begin a process of self assessment, introspection and examination. A major piece of the instrument package is The Executive Effectiveness Profile—a set of questionnaires to be completed anonymously by the participant’s boss, team members and peers. These questionnaires cause the participant to directly consider the impact which he or she, as a leader and manager, is having on key people. The other part of the pre-program assessment is a battery of psychometric instruments which get at a broad range of motives, needs and behaviors.
Bases of Influence - Presentation/DiscussionLateral influence skills or the ability to get others not under a leaders direct control to do what needs to be done is the focus of this module.
Interpersonal Effectiveness/Conflict Handling - Presentation/DiscussionUsing information provided by the Interpersonal Preferences Profile, participants learn about their predominant interpersonal style and its impact on motivation, presentation effectiveness and conflict management.
Management Style Preference Index - Instrument AnalysisParticipants receive feedback on 16 dimensions of personality which affect leadership effectiveness. Then participants learn a model to increase the use of eight constructive dimensions and minimize the use of four passive and four aggressive styles.
