| Services Offered: Management Development Detail Successful leaders have proven their technical competence and their managerial ability to solve business problems. Yet leadership and managerial skills are typically learned on the job, often through trial and error. Even the best leaders occasionally need additional information and knowledge about organizations. We deliver management knowledge, professionally, in response to the needs of the client. This is done in management development programs, seminars and training, as well as topic and issue reports about organizational processes, systems, behaviors, and environments. Among the organizational processes, systems, and behaviors that may be studied are: culture and how is it maintained, the causes and consequences of member satisfaction, different decision-making styles and techniques that affect performance, communication networks and their influence on information flows, the connection between reward systems and motivation, group dynamics and characteristics of teams, individual differences and their impact on behaviors, types of organizational control and when each is most appropriate, the range of organization and job designs and factors that determine organization structure, forces that determine productivity, efficiency, and profitability as well as any number of other issues and areas of concern that influence the effectiveness of the organization as a whole or in part. Companies cannot accomplish anything without people. Individuals contribute to the organization’s success with their productive activities, membership behaviors, and adaptive actions. Productive behaviors provide the client or customer with the service or product of the firm. Membership behaviors maintain and increase the desirability of being a part of an organization, while adaptive behaviors encourage responsiveness to the changing demands of the work and business environment. Motivation differs for each type of behavior and each requires its own set of abilities and work opportunities in order to improve organizational effectiveness. Employees can have their energies released through empowerment and dynamic leadership. But do leaders at all levels in your firm know how to do this? The knowledge and technological explosion that is propelling change in today’s global business environment makes it very difficult for leaders to stay abreast of their own field. Expertise in evolving business concepts and management theory is even harder to achieve and maintain. That is where we come in, what we do, and how we can contribute to the growing success of your company. We customize seminars, training sessions and development programs to meet the need for management, leadership and business knowledge in your company. This can be accomplished at your office or off-site as appropriate and on a schedule that you set. |
