Our Management Training Seminars

By introducing our Management Training Seminars to your staff we help ease the negative effect of change on both managerial and supervisory personnel. The change in job responsibilities, the change in personnel, job duties, and the rising challenge of developing subordinates are specific goals of our learning systems seminars. We are highly successful at helping Managers and Supervisors learn and adapt to the necessary skills and proper behaviors to be successful at work as well as in their personal lives.

Operating principle: You must not let these 6 things make you cynical. Use them to elevate yours -- and others -- human experience.

The 6 things you need to be ready, willing and able to put into action, like a quarterback checks off a play depending on what the defense is trying to confuse him with -- are:

1. People's personal development matters: good, bad, and ugly events from our childhood influence us for the rest of our lives.

The more aware a person is of these influences the more s/he can choose high-probability-of-success behaviours.

2. The key developmental set of events is how adults -- because of our interpretation of our childhood events, for better or for worse -- interact with authority figures.

• Some of us rebellious and defiant, others strive to accommodate, most people become slaves to authority.
• The rebel needs to give up her/his demand to be understood.
• Accommodators do a lot better when they, like the lion in "The Wizard of Oz," act courageously on their own values.
• Slaves to authority need to start thinking and acting for themselves, rather than waiting to be rescued by some local dictator.

3. All of us are ambivalent about relationships.

Think about it. When we get annoyed or conflicted with others we tend to want to eject ourselves from the conversation.

4. Self-deception is a ubiquitous human experience.

We lie to ourselves about our motives and desires, then make up theories to make our lies, "THE truth."

5. There are real, biological, psychological, and spiritual differences between women and men.

These differences can make our lives interesting or miserable.

Choose one or the other.

6. Leadership and followership are inextricably intertwined with each other.

Most leaders take, or are promoted into, leadership positions because of charisma, and because of that tend to be narcissistic, maybe even psychopathic.

People who only choose to be followers are needy, dependent, and studiously lemming-like.

Are you able and willing to face -- and work with -- these?
