A New Option For Training Groups Of Your Company's Managers!

Due to popular demand, there's a new GROUP PACKAGE for training groups of your managers.

You can send up to 10 of your managers to the 6-Week Certificate Program called The Science and Practices of Managing People. And you get significantly discounted group pricing!

Among the benefits are:

• You pick your start date (choose a date that works for your managers and the 6-week program will commence on whatever date you choose).
• You'll get a weekly update on participant progress so you can see exactly how your managers are progressing through the program.
•  Your managers will take 1 course per week for 6 weeks (see the curriculum below). They can work on the courses any time of day (whatever works best for them).  Each week, they’ll watch approximately 1-hour of a video course, and then complete one assignment to hardwire the learnings and take one brief quiz to ensure they learned that week’s content. 
• You get "Talking Points Memos" for each module in the course so you can facilitate internal discussions on the content once the course is over.
• Upon successful completion of the course, each of your managers will receive a Certificate in The Science And Practices Of Managing People.
• Once you purchase the group package, a team member from Leadership IQ will reach out to you in order to get your participant list and desired start date.
• If you want to send more than 10 managers, contact Jill Sutherland at jill@leadershipiq.com for customized group rates.

Your managers will learn the science and hyper-practical skills to deliver corrective feedback, manage narcissists & negative personalities, retain & inspire high performers, maximize middle performers, resolve conflict and lead teams!

Participants can expect to spend around 2 hours per week on viewing the video modules and coursework. Here is a listing of all the courses in the Science and Practices of Managing People program, with the duration of each video module (mm:ss).

WEEK 1. THE SCIENCE OF GIVING CONSTRUCTIVE FEEDBACK

A Leadership IQ study found that 81% of leaders avoid giving tough feedback because they’re afraid the recipient will respond badly (with anger, denial, blame or excuses). Fact-based conversations allow you to speak candidly without making people angry so you can turn tough conversations into coaching conversations that result in positive behavioral change. We’ll show you how to strip feedback messages of any emotional baggage and stick to the facts so defenses stay low and employees can make the “corrective leap” you want.

• Module 1 – Feedback Assessment (5:35)
• Module 2 – Setting the Right Goals for Feedback Conversations (4:53)
• Module 3 – Fact Based Communication – The FIRE Model (10:36)
• Module 4 – Skills & Attitude Determine Performance/Create a Performance Grid (4:59)
• Module 5 – 6 Feedback Conversations to Avoid (7:49)
• Module 6 – The IDEALS Script for Delivering Constructive Feedback (18:03)
• Module 7 – Feedback Conversations with Talented Terrors (14:07)

WEEK 2. THE SCIENCE OF MANAGING DIFFICULT PERSONALITIES

Not every person in your organization is going to be nice, pleasant and easy-going. But direct confrontation makes negative personalities even more difficult to manage and work with. We’ve identified the Big Five difficult personalities that drive the most conflict in organizations (Negative, Drama Queens and Kings, Narcissists, Blamers and Overly Sensitive) and we’ll share specific scripts and techniques for understanding and managing these difficult personalities.

• Module 1 – Overview (4:49)
• Module 2 – Blamers (9:20)
• Module 3 – Negative Personalities (19:34)
• Module 4 – Drama Queens and Kings (11:53)
• Module 5 – Narcissist (9:32)
• Module 6 – Overly Sensitive Personalities (6:43)

WEEK 3. THE SCIENCE OF RESOLVING CONFLICT

Conflict is so touchy—we pretend it’s not there, yet we suffer its negative effects every day. Whether a conflict is between you and another person, or you’re mediating conflict between others, we’ll show you how to de-escalate conflict by focusing on facts. You’ll learn the latest research on conflict and get the specific psychological scripts and tools you need to fundamentally resolve conflict (and all of its tricky applications).

• Module 1 – Overview (12:42)
• Module 2 – Conflict Between You and Another Person (16:53)
• Module 3 – Conflict Between Employees (18:07)

WEEK 4. THE SCIENCE OF KEEPING HIGH PERFORMERS EXCITED AND ENGAGED

In 42% of companies, high performers are less engaged than low performers. Understanding and addressing the deep issues that make high performers tick helps motivate, engage and most importantly, retain these valuable employees. Based on Leadership IQ’s groundbreaking study that was featured in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, Fast Company, HR Executive and Harvard Business Review, we’ll show you how to tap into the psychological motivators and demotivators of your top talent along with other practical tips to make your high performers more excited and engaged.

• Module 1 – High Performer Motivation Drivers (18:34)
• Module 2 – Shoves and Tugs (11:05)
• Module 3 – Tips for Motivating and Engaging High Performers (18:44)
• Module 4 – Understanding High Performer Reactions (10:04)

WEEK 5. THE SCIENCE OF MAXIMIZING MIDDLE PERFORMERS

About 80% of middle performers have tremendous untapped potential but are blocked from maximizing their full potential due to mistakes in how they’re managed. We’ll show you how to diagnose the blocks and you’ll learn the specific steps you need to take to coach middle performers into achieving superstar-level performance.

• Module 1 – Diagnosing Middle Performer Types (21:50)
• Module 2 – Taking Action (24:37)

WEEK 6. THE SCIENCE OF LEADING TEAMS

Teams are the foundation of every organization, but right now, 91% of teams are not fulfilling their full potential. We’ll show you how to connect and align teams through shared purpose and orientation. You’ll learn techniques for streamlining meetings so they become value-added forums for making better, smarter decisions, how to address interpersonal team dynamics and methods for creating definable objectives and clear agendas so people show up to meetings focused, engaged and prepared (and stay accountable after meetings end).

• Module 1 – Identifying Team Purpose (13:09)
• Module 2 – Putting the Right People on the Team (12:02)
• Module 3 – Challengers, Implementers, Analyzers and Diplomats – Four Personalities Found in Teams (7:55)
