Fundamentals of Supervision An ancient Chinese philosopher said that the art of effective leadership is getting people to do what you want them to do while letting them believe it was their idea in the first place. It is the ability to mobilize the energies of other people to achieve a goal or an objective. In short, leadership means motivating other people to follow. And the finest leadership motivates others while creating an atmosphere in which all levels of employee thrive.
The traits of effective management/supervision include skillful planning, rational decision-making, and productive communication. But before these qualities can come into play, the effective manager must demonstrate a positive attitude and respect for others. more...

Overcoming Negativity in the Workplace Negativity is a style of thinking, and when it flourishes, organizations do not. It can lead to behaviors that reduce productivity, creativity, and effective problem-solving, and increase employee turnover.
The degree of negativity is largely determined by perceptions, beliefs, and the "inner dialogue" each of us brings to bear on our personal and professional undertakings. Organizations and individuals willing to examine the sources of negativity, explore their own tendencies to negative thinking, and learn new ways of responding to people and situations, can replace negativity with success. more...

We offer workshops that explain what teams are, and what they are not. We illustrate how teams form, how they are nurtured, and what they can accomplish. We introduce prospective team members to the skills and competencies necessary for participating effectively in team-building. more...
Building Bridges Beyond Stereotyping and Prejudice People are always making generalizations. How many times have you heard, " All Jews are cheap" or " All Black people have rhythm"? Not everyone's bias comes from the same source, but the end result is always the same. Prejudice is a disease. It eats away at our minds and most of us never realize what is happening. Prejudice is also highly contagious: we catch it from our parents, our family, our friends, and often end up passing it on to our children.
The goal of this course is to facilitate self-reflection and self-growth among participants, preparing them to more critically, actively, and effectively manage and/or contribute to a diverse workforce. Participants will look at how prejudice and intolerance manifest in their daily lives. more...
