by
Motivating and Acknowledging
Motivate and Acknowledge:
Is it really that simple?
Yes, that’s where it starts.
But it goes further than that.
Effective people management is the key to organization success. As manager, your ability to succeed is predicated on your ability to choose your team and manage it. How do you hire people? How do you develop and motivate them? And, when necessary, how do you fire them? The skillful manager/coach does all this for subordinates. The result is increased individual and team productivity.
In this workshop we will cover these processes from beginning to end. The goal of this session is to help you improve your skills as Talent Managers.
