Leadership is about building systems that people can excel in. Great leaders build great companies.
Usually supervisors are promoted without any training or little understanding about what their new role will require, and they receive little or no coaching in that new role.
Managers must be able to effectively assess their work situations, understand and communicate with all employees, and determine the most appropriate way to get the job done on time, within budget and up to standards.
Most first-line supervisors are promoted (rewarded) because of their work ethic, attitude, technical skills, etc. – and not because of their people skills. However, once they become a supervisor their No. 1 responsibility is to deal with people.
To be a good leader you must understand people and before you can do that you must first understand yourself. Our leadership training is about dealing with people. In order for the supervisor and company to be successful, the people must be successful.
"I like the program because it gives us a `Real World` explanation of problems, solutions, and expectations as well as being taught by someone not reading the lessons out of a book. The interaction in the class keeps our attention and helps us realize we are not the only ones dealing with these issues." - Joe Hackney, Production Supervisor, Cimarron Trailers
"This is the most fantastic piece of work I have ever seen Jack... I can`t thank you enough. I will put it to good use, you can count on that.
I can clearly see why every company should have you do this for them. Makes you think
how many companies are drifting along and are surprised when the end up nowhere." - Bob Oros, CEO, More Gross Profit
“I feel the buy-in of the group is very strong. I liked all of the notes we took and kept visible all week. I have a clear vision of what was accomplished, how we got here and where we need to go. This has been the most positive/fun event we have had so far, so it is hard to be critical. Look forward to working with you in the future.” - Dave Smith, Jr., Vice President,
Midwest Trophy Mfg.
