. EVERYDAY LEADERSHIP: IDEAS, TOOLS & YOU This is NOT your traditional training session. Designed for supervisors, it's more like a learning roundtable where people come together to share their ideas, experiences, and perspectives -- along with their challenges, questions, and concerns. The session is led by Tom Terez, in a forum numbering up to 15 people. Tom brings questions to stir the dialogue along with a facilitative approach to ensure that everyone contributes and learns. He also brings plenty of ideas and tools based on his 20 years working with organizations throughout the country. This is a practical session all about what works in the real world, brought to life with workplace examples, revealing stories, best practices, and Tom's trademark good humor. What keeps people motivated and engaged at work? We take a look, focusing on specific actions that supervisors can implement right away. What are your strengths, and what keeps you motivated during the workday? During the session, each person gets the chance to find out. This is important because we need to do a good job of leading ourselves before we can effectively lead others. . We will be in your area soon. Click here to learn more. Is there a better way to communicate? Absolutely. We look at ways to talk so that people listen -- and ways to listen so that people talk. Are there common pitfalls when it comes to leading people? You bet. We look at long-held beliefs that do more harm than good, and we reorient our thinking around a handful of practices that work best. What can I do about a chronically negative employee? Not much, to be honest. Your time is better spent trying to engage the people who seem to be in neutral -- who go about their tasks without using their hearts or minds. We look at the best course of action. What happens after the session? Each person leaves with his or her own manageable plan of action. The aim is NOT to come up with a long to-do list -- but to identify two or three commitments that can make a significant difference. Most supervisors limit their own potential. They define their role in a narrow way when they could and should be viewing themselves as leaders. These challenging times call for leadership that goes far beyond the traditional supervisory role.
