  • Course description
    The process of motivating and developing employees is of huge importance to any organization.  The problem is too few managers ever get proper training to develop the skills required.  This seminar goes beyond motivation theory and provides practical, easy to apply employee motivation techniques that will help any manager motivate their staff to higher levels of performance.

    We call it “positive accountability.”  For people to be empowered, they must first accept accountability.  Too often, holding employees accountable for their actions is seen as a negative process.  In this session, managers learn how to motivate employees to willingly accept accountability for their own performance. 

    This session develops the management communication, coaching and mentoring skills to hold employees accountable in a positive manner, engaging employees to accept responsibility for improved performance, and empowering employees to be more productive.

    This interactive program takes managers through critical areas that help them motivate staff and create employee development plans that work with any individual.  Rather than making assumptions, managers learn how to use improved listening and verbal communication skills to better manage and motivate their employees.

    Managers and supervisors who want to develop the skills to motivate employees and use positive techniques to enhance employee development and performance.
