In addition to our customized Talent Development Solutions, we are certified to train individuals in many well-known management models including:

Situational Leadership II - Ken Blanchard

This powerful, easily understood, and effective leadership model is based on the research of Ken Blanchard and Paul Hersey. Ken Blanchard is best known as the management guru who published the One Minute Manager series of books. The situational leadership style focuses on the development level of the follower. The style is determined by both the competence and commitment of the individual for the specific task at hand. At the completion of the course, participants are provided with tools to assist in bringing this effective model back to the workplace. It is adaptable to all organizations and is appropriate for individuals at any level of supervision or management, regardless of the number of years of supervisory experience.

Seven Habits of Highly Effective People - Dr. Stephen Covey

The research for this model began while Dr. Stephen Covey was in graduate school. It is a foundational learning experience centered on discovering the principles and character of each individual. This discovery or inside-out approach results in behavioral changes that enhance personal effectiveness. The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People remains a foundational learning experience. The individuals who participate in this training leave with a renewed energy and a focus on what direction they are going, both personally and professionally.

Speed of Trust - Stephen M.R. Covey

Stephen M. R. Covey is the son of Dr. Stephen Covey. This active learning workshop is based on his book, The Speed of Trust. Trust is the hidden variable that accelerates high performance in both individuals and organizations. This course identifies the 13 behaviors of trust that impact The 4 cores of credibility - Integrity, Intent, Capabilities, and Results. This is a very timely and relevant subject that responds to one of the greatest leadership challenges of the 21st Century - TRUST!

Leading Across Generations - Stephen Covey

This learning experience educates the participants on the differing styles and expectations of the four generations in the workplace and suggests approaches to overcome potential conflict. Participants always have a-ha moments and leave the session with an understanding of how to leverage the generational differences.

Assessments
