About this course

Our aim is to teach soft skills that get results. Leaders manage more effectively, which improves the quality of work life for both employees and their managers.

This course is designed for senior leaders, executives, managers and supervisors with at least 6 months experience dealing with the challenges of managing the performance of others.

Soft Skills Training for Managers and Supervisors:

Correcting poor performance is a task most managers avoid because they don’t know how to discuss problems effectively with employees. This course addresses this dilemma and teaches two methodologies that give managers more confidence to initiate performance related conversations and give corrective feedback that yields results. Course participants have told us they value the fact that the practical skills they learned in the course can be immediately applied on the job to positively impact work relationships and improve the performance of their team.

This course is designed to give leaders the specific tools and skills they need to manage performance and ensure their employees’ ongoing commitment to superior results.

Over 1400 managers have taken this course and put the skills into action. Many clients consider this course to be a keystone of their supervisor/management development plan, because the methodology works. We know first-hand…. we use the same skills in all our coaching and advisory work.

Course Content

This is a highly practical course that teaches the four coaching conversations managers need to master:

Confronting (Performance Improvement through Corrective Feedback): Challenging an employee to do something differently, take on more work, or take the next step in their development. PLUS, how to “coach upward” to gain more support from influencers.
Counseling (Problem Solving): Solving any type of performance related problem.
Mentoring: Helping an employee learn to develop their career and how to function effectively within the organization.
Tutoring: Helping an employee acquire new job related knowledge or skills.
