ACHIEVEBLUE at HRPAO 2012
Jason Questor, EVP Learning Systems and Lynda Keating, EVP Culture and Leadership Practice will be co-presenting at this year's Human Resources Professionals Association annual conference and trade show, on Friday February 3rd 2012. The conference will be held at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre.
Our presentations focus on two critical areas: The Return of the Manager and Communicating the Difficult Message.
Session 1: Back to Basics: The Return of the Manager
Over the past year, there has been a growing interest in Management Training programs. Often, an individual is required to have both leadership and management skill and mind sets. When you think of it, neither a Leader nor a Manager can exist without each other. What would happen to strategy if there is no one to execute it? What would people work toward and accomplish if there was no goal or strategy? Attend this session to discuss and rediscover the essential inter-relationship between Managers and Leaders that organizations need to recognize, value and nurture through well designed development programs that are targeted at either Managers or Leaders, not just Leaders.
Session 2: High Quality Conversations: Communicating the Difficult Message
Employee engagement and performance management may sometimes seem to be at cross purposes. With the need to attract and retain top talent reaching critical levels, managers may be hesitant or even at a loss when it comes to addressing less than optimal performance. These difficult conversations must be seen as coaching opportunities and planned with care. This session provides participants with key insights and take-away techniques that can be used immediately and over the long term for building and maintaining positive employee leader / team member relationships based on tact, candor and mutual support.
