Training content
Modules 1 and 2: Introduction to Your Management Style
Explores how your preferences and priorities influence management style—including decision making and problem solving—and how to identify others’ DiSC styles using behavioral cues.
Module 3: Directing and Delegating
Large and small group activities, along with video and worksheets, help participants identify their strengths and challenges when directing and delegating, learn to use people-reading techniques to determine the DiSC styles of those they manage, and craft action plans for adapting their behavior to manage people with various styles more effectively. We also practice holding “Leadership Conversations” – those difficult conversations we are often tempted to delay or avoid.
Module 4: Creating a Motivating Environment
Participants discover how styles influence how people are motivated and develop fresh insight into what it takes to create an environment where it’s easy for people to find their own natural motivation.
Module 5: Developing Others
Focuses on the often overlooked—but essential—role of managers: supporting the long-term professional growth and development of employees by providing resources and opportunities that capitalize on each individual’s potential.
Module 6: Working with Your Manager
Identifies successful approaches to managing up—as a direct report, working effectively with different style managers, to advocate and get buy-in, influence and communicate, and navigate through conflict.
