Managers account for at least 70% of the variance in employee engagement scores.
Today's leaders face new opportunities, as well as new challenges. In order to succeed, leaders must move away from the mindset that has made them effective as individual contributors and focus on harnessing the talents of others. This shift in mindset proves particularly critical when attempting to lead in times of complexity or even crisis. Trusted leaders ground themselves, and then establish synchrony with their followers. In this session, we will explore the difference between “managing” and “leading” your group, and delve into some foundational competencies critical to leading effectively. We will examine considerations and opportunities for leaders to apply the Resonant Leadership model in their work with teams and coworkers. Participants will have the opportunity to self-evaluate how they are connecting with their stakeholders, and themselves, to best position themselves to lead in this unprecedented time and in complex situations going forward.
In today’s matrixed environments, success in management often requires the ability to influence across an organization without formal authority to ensure cooperation and coordination across departmental boundaries. In this session, participants learn how to assess organizational power and influence dynamics, assess their own reach and influencing potential, and explore effective ways to build personal power sources over their careers. Participants learn about a variety of influencing skills and strategic relationship building strategies that enhance personal power and influence, regardless of role or tenure. From here, we will explore how to then reframe their influencing skills specifically as it applies to managing up and managing key stakeholders. Participants will receive actionable tips to approach difficult conversations, make the most of meeting times and accept feedback.
Conflict is a natural and healthy part of any organization and is even more prevalent in diverse organizations with multiple perspectives. When approached productively, conflict can lead to a greater understanding of problems, improved processes, and more innovative solutions. However, many managers approach professional conflict with trepidation. During this session, participants will gain an understanding of different conflict styles and learn which style they personally gravitate towards. The group will explore the different types of conflicts that arise in organizations and discuss the benefits and drawbacks of each conflict style, given the situation. At the end of the session, participants will learn to approach conflict scenarios with greater confidence and have the awareness to select the conflict approach that will lead to effective and productive conflict resolution.
Leaders often assume that their followers share the same motivations and values as themselves. When confronted with the reality that they are managing people who are different in various ways, including identity, previous personal and professional experiences, and work preferences, they quickly realize that management is about driving the performance of others. Managers who want to drive high performance and develop employees who are not meeting expectations can use feedback and coaching behaviors to help their employees succeed. This session begins with inviting managers to engage in self-reflection about their identities and to uncover their unconscious bias to help them facilitate the development of others while connecting their lived experiences to their managerial role. Participants will then use real-life management scenarios to learn an inclusivity-informed and employee-centered approach to feedback and coaching - including how to create a culture of feedback and coaching to prevent poor performance, meet employee development gaps, and energize employees’ intrinsic values and motivation.
