Managing for Peak Performance

Introduction

The Stanford Research Institute says that the money you make in any endeavour is determined only 12.5% by knowledge, and 87.5% by your ability to deal with people....!  

J Paul Getty, when asked what was the most important quality for a successful executive, replied, “It doesn’t make much difference how much other knowledge or experience a person possesses; if he is unable to achieve results through people, he is worthless as an executive.”

Teddy Roosevelt said, “The most important single ingredient to the formula for success is knowing how to get along with people.”

“I will pay more for the ability to deal with people than any other ability under the sun,” asserted John D. Rockefeller

If I have to come and do the Performance Reviews of a manager, I will be bringing just one Key Performance Area with me - have you created an environment in which your staff WANT to perform?  If you have not, you have failed as a manager. Oh, your department may have achieved its targets, but that simply means that either you were doing the work that you pay others to do, or you were "big stick" managing. Both are very dangerous management styles. The joy of management is when people do what they are supposed to do simply because they want to. But the manager has to create the environment in which they "want to".

This course is designed to give managers of all levels, that includes supervisors, those skills that they need in order to create an environment in which their staff WANT to perform.

Outcomes 

• At the end of this course participants will have learned how to:

• Communicate effectively

• Manage change and diversity

• Enhance their flexibility

• Manage their tolerance

• Maintain / improve their personal attitude

• Cope with stress

• Facilitate adult learning

• Delegate and control

• Apply the three roles of effective management, i.e. boss, leader and mentor

• Be a brilliant manager instead of good one

Structure 

Delegates

A minimum of 5 and a maximum of 15 delegates per course can be accommodated. In order to achieve a certificate all delegates are expected to attend all the sessions. No exceptions will be made.

Duration

The total course duration of 4 days is structured over an extended time period to ensure the transferal of skills.  The initial 2 days are conducted as an intense and experiential workshop. The last 2 days are structured over a 2-month period scheduled at monthly intervals.  These workshops are designed to allow the delegate the opportunity to bring back "real-life" case studies, of their experiences using the techniques learned on the course, and to then have them evaluated and fine-tuned in order for the delegate to have the maximum possible learning experience. These follow-up workshops also allow the delegate to accumulate a body of evidence as to their competency.

Facilities

All normal training room facilities will be provided by the suppliers of the venue. The training room and facilities are for the client's account.
