Leadership and Management   

Delivering feedback correctly can be more challenging than it seems. Leaders must balance honesty with sensitivity, ensuring the message is received without causing defensiveness or discouragement. Additionally, they must navigate their own discomfort and potential biases to provide feedback that is fair and impactful. Staff members face similar challenges, with the added pressure of potentially upsetting their managers. In this session, participants will learn the components of effective feedback and practice how to share their opinions effectively, both as leaders and staff.

The digital age and the advent of COVID 19 have forced many teams to operate without borders. Managers in today’s world must not only handle accomplishing their defined tasks and meeting their goals, they must now also understand how to oversee employee performance without live observation and face-to-face interaction.

In this online session, managers will receive best practices for managing teams in multiple locations. They will be provided guidance on how to communicate effectively at a distance, how to manage performance at a distance, and how to keep their staff motivated and engaged while performing their job functions outside of the view of management.
