Employment lawsuits have skyrocketed in the past decade – and today’s layoffs and tough economy will only make things worse. The No. 1 cause? Simple communication mistakes made by supervisors – mistakes often triggered by supervisors’ avoidance of difficult situations.
In just 75 minutes, teach your managers how to become stronger leaders AND prevent those costly legal mistakes. In this fast-paced and entertaining presentation, author/attorney Jathan Janove will offer concrete steps for improved managerial effectiveness.
Jathan will describe the 8 most common management pitfalls (The 8 Deadly Sins), such as lack of accountability … poor listening skills …avoidance … and more. Plus, you’ll discover how to avoid each one (The 8 Virtues).
Real-life examples and memorable stories illustrate each Sin and each Virtue.
You’ll find out how to transfer these workplace-tested techniques directly into powerful results at work.
You’ll learn how to:
- “Avoid avoidance”
- Use the D-I-S method of communication (Direct, Immediate, Specific);
- Coach and mentor employees correctly while maintaining expectations and accountability;
- Apply effective listening techniques;
- Connect employee performance to the organization’s big picture.
