Overview
Offensive language, constant criticism, hygiene or dress problems, lateness, poor performance and people who ignore their effect on others all create conflict. When the resulting complaints are handled badly, they breed more conflict and productivity suffers.
This 90-minute corrective feedback training gives you a plan and the right language for these situations, built on the C.A.R.E. model: being appreciative and present, acknowledging feelings, projecting positive intent and avoiding assumptions.
You'll learn to spot when you are losing control, understand the snowball effect of unchecked negativity, read body language, and use leadership styles, relationship strategies and communication principles that build trust.
Why attend: Effective leaders know how to handle difficult situations and get people to agree to change. The familiar feedback "sandwich" is only one idea; this session goes further, moving you from blame toward self-awareness, critical thinking and problem solving. It is designed for new and mid-level executives, managers and supervisors, especially those preparing for a new or more demanding leadership role.
