People Skills for Technical Professionals, Supervisors & Managers

The American Management Association learned in a national survey that approximately 75% of supervisors and managers who are terminated are removed from their jobs because they have problems dealing with people. Most supervisors and managers will tell you that the most challenging part of their jobs is the people component. Most technical professionals are aware that their training included little or no preparation for dealing with people. Not too surprising, is it? Human beings are complex creatures and most people learn very little in their developmental years about interpersonal communication skills, managing relationships, preventing or resolving conflicts, getting commitments from others, or dealing with problem behavior. When you become a supervisor you somehow are supposed to have all of those skills! When you realize that your technical competence is not enough to be successful in the organization, you know that dealing with people is challenging! This 2-day how to training program provides proven, practical tools and techniques to improve anyone s skills for dealing with people.
