Leading projects and programs? No problem. Leading people? That’s a different ballgame. Join the Chamber of Commerce of West Alabama and West Alabama Works for the second-annual Talent Conference, a signature event for managers, supervisors, workforce development leaders and human resources professionals. Management expert Glenn Shepard will present “How to Manage Problem Employees and Deal with Difficult People,” a SHRM-accredited webinar. The presentation contains high-level management and psychology content similar to what’s taught in MBA-level classes at top business schools, such as Harvard University.
Full Description:
There is a science and a set of skills for:
► Getting people to respect your authority
► Becoming a strong, assertive leader that employees respect, without becoming an authoritarian jerk that they resent
► Eliminating unacceptable behavior such as arguing, insubordination, backtalk, and outright defiance
► Correcting people without demoralizing them
► Eliminating destructive behavior (like malicious office gossip) that kills company morale
It’s not about disciplining people. It’s about effectively setting and enforcing healthy boundaries.
It's about creating a healthy, well-run work environment that empowers our employees to be the best they can be.
It’s not about being mean. It’s about being clear.
As financial guru Dave Ramsey says, "To be unclear is to be unkind.”
Can you grasp the wisdom of mastery-level skills of psychologically and emotionally understanding people… at creating a relationship with your employees that transcends a mere superior-subordinate hierarchy… at actually being an INFLUENTIAL voice in their lives?
What we’re discussing here should not be confused with “HR” or (only) management.
There is another distinctly different, fascinating area of management that can be even more valuable to you – with its own strategies and tactics. Something even more valuable than basic leadership skills.
It’s the PSYCHOLOGY of understanding why people do the things they do so that you can get them to do what you want them to do.
Through a special arrangement with Mr. Shepard to give this presentation as part of the West Alabama Works Talent Conference, he has agreed to waive his normal $1,000 fee for presenting this webinar in exchange for the Chamber making a donation to St. Jude's Children's Research Hospital.
Because of that, members of the West Alabama Chamber of Commerce won’t have to pay the $199 that thousands of people all over the country have paid to attend this SHRM accredited class.
When you attend the West Alabama Works Talent Conference on Wednesday, November 18th at 10am, your tuition is only $20.
That's a 90% discount because you're a member of the Chamber.
