~ Managing Talent
Organizations that prefer to be at the top of the charts spend time and energy managing their organization’s talent. They know that better business results are attained when talent is appropriately managed. They understand that each organization and its talent are different, but there are approaches that any organization can use. This module will address the essential question: what are you personally doing about your opportunity to get the most out of your people? These are people who know that talent management is an ongoing process. Module topics include: talent management and business strategy; organization needs assessment; components of and roles in talent management; skill mix charting; the talent triangle and profiles of success; awareness, hiring and retention of talent; learning needs and skill sets tools; mentoring as a core competence; succession planning; and high potentials.
~ Strategic Thinking
This module offers a management perspective that focuses on the "big picture." It helps organizations perform better because actions that the organization takes are grounded in a vision of the future. This module helps executives combine the systemic system with the day to day operational requirements. It creates a framework for determining a clearer direction for the company that is aligned with the realities of the marketplace. The module will address not just the thinking, but also the implementation of those strategic thoughts. Module topics include: know the benefits of strategic thinking; define the various aspects of strategic thinking; use assumption surfacing and evaluation; identify ways for individuals to contribute to competitive advantage; link strategic results to resource allocation; assemble a strategic thinking team; identify ways to overcome barriers to strategic thinking; know how to measure the impact of strategic thinking; describe ways to apply strategic thinking to one’s career; and use knowledge management to improve the implementation process.
~ Leadership for High Performance

This module evaluates high performing organizations, their characteristics, and the role of leadership in a high performance environment. During the module, you will: discover the effect of leaders on followers, evaluate the issues facing all groups and teams, participate in exercises to demonstrate inter-group dynamics, and understand management. Module topics include: art and science of leadership as an influence process; difference between management and leadership; leadership theory; charismatic leadership; transactional vs. transformational leadership; and guidelines for effective team leadership.
~ Executive Coaching
 Coaching is an advanced form of communication, that when used properly, can increase performance, improve motivation and retention, reduce stress and create better working relationships. This is a practical module that gives executives the skills they need to be effective coaches in their organizations. Growing and developing their staff and managing change are some of the most important tasks for a manager. Coaches are skilled at both. Module topics include: best practices of successful coaches; mentoring vs. coaching; the coaching model - communication: listening and sensitivity to hear what is really going on; language - powerful dialogue and strong messages to lead; powerful questions - asking the right questions allows for natural wisdom; requesting action - steps to effective action and accountability; and three types of coaching situations.~ Building and Leading Successful Teams
One way leaders add value to the organization is through a higher level of team building. This module addresses a number of the factors that lead to team success. Analysis of individual team behavior will be stressed. Extensive reflection of team principles and practices will occur. Module topics include: gain commitment to team success; accept that team building leads to better business results; review a 12-factor high performance team model; assess current level of the organization’s team building efforts; identify ways to improve team behavior; build a plan for team actions to enhance collaboration; and use the six-stage model of leader and team priority behaviors.
~ Leading Change
Change is inevitable and constant. We must not only be able to manage change, but to lead our subordinates in coping with and perhaps even embracing change. Module topics include: implement task load analysis for improved change management; establish a vantage point for change management; differentiate among six different kinds of change; assess how people react to change (including self-assessment); identify and deal with signs of resistance; develop a four-part strategy for managing change; and assess individual use of 16 change management behaviors.
~ Executive Decision Making and Problem Solving
This module guides participants in making clear, informed and effective decisions that are in line with organization’s core values and philosophies and that support the organizations short-term and long-term strategies. It will address the full spectrum of framework and models used in decision making. Module topics include: understand intuitive and rational decision-making approaches; understand inquiry versus advocacy approaches used in executive decision-making, both team based and individual; apply a variety of analytical tools that can be used for determining what information and knowledge are needed about problem situations and where to get them; understand tools and techniques for developing and assessing options; understand the role of leadership in problem-solving discussions; determine whether or not identified problems need to be resolved; and understand methodologies for prioritization of problems and solutions based on expected return on investment.
~ Fostering Creativity and Innovation
Innovation is the fuel that drives business. The many aspects of creativity are the building blocks. The blocks are used to build the "house" for alternative ways to manage people, technology and other resources. Creativity helps managers generate more options and alternatives for increasing results. Creativity and innovation provide perspective and structure to make it easier to find a better way. Module topics include: five stages of the creative process; 32 ways to stretch the creativity muscles; overcoming barriers to creativity; four creative thinking abilities; 19 questions for successful innovation; best practices; and multi-functional innovation.
~ Ethics, Values, and Drive
 Executives and senior level managers are self driven. Often this drive for accomplishment and recognition comes into direct conflict with corporate and personal ethics and values. We must understand how ethics and values govern our business. Our drive to win is essential to our success and that of our business, but it must always be ruled by ethics and positive values, and this requires courage and understanding. Module topics include: the relationships between ethics and values, and courage; your personal value profile, and how it aligns with leadership and drive; the concept and application of managerial courage; and learn tools to deal effectively with inappropriate behavior. |
