INTERPERSONAL SKILLS MODULES
Effective Discipline (ED)
(formerly titled Using Positive Discipline)
This may seem like a contradiction in terms, but it doesn't have to be. Managers and team leaders
will be shown how to change unacceptable team member behavior without causing bruised and resentful
egos. View more information.
Developing Performance Standards (DPS)
Unless your managers and team leaders are successful in spelling
out the organization's specific goals, their team members are not going to know how to meet those
objectives. This module shows trainees how to establish specific, measurable, attainable,
result-oriented, and time-framed performance standards. It then illustrates the steps that gain
team member agreement and commitment to those performance standards.

Improving Work Habits (IWH)
(formerly titled Improving Employee Work Habits)
Merely quoting company regulations to the recalcitrant worker will not solve the problem. The truly
effective manager or team leader will translate the rules into codes of conduct meaningful to the
team member and will do it in a supportive, non-threatening way. This module shows how it is done.

Coaching Job Skills (CJS)
(formerly titled Coaching for Improved Performance)
Once team member performance has been assessed, the team leader identifies specific areas that need
improvement. This module shows the participant how to demonstrate the needed skills to the team member,
and how to motivate him or her to pursue them. The result can prove rewarding for everyone involved.

Delegating (DE)
(formerly titled Delegating Effectively)
This module gives valuable insights into and practice of the "Three W's" of effective delegation:
| |
|
When should team leaders delegate? |
| |
|
To whom should they delegate? |
| |
|
What explanation should they give to team members? |
The module also shows how to use delegation as a motivational tool. It shows them how to form
clear explanations, gain agreement, and confirm future plans and commitments with team members.

Assigning Tasks Effectively
(This module was combined with the Delegating Effectively module - now called Delegating - see above)
Performance Assessment (PA)
This module shows the way evaluation is done by the experts. First, relevant performance
standards are established. Then the team member's own performance evaluation is solicited.
This accomplished, the stage is set for a summary evaluation that will be clear and credible
to the team member. View more information.
Dealing with Complaints (DWC)
As the leaders on the front line, managers and team leaders are often the first to hear team
member complaints. And though sometimes they may seem to be a barrage of whining, each
complaint should be addressed and resolved. This module shows how to resolve simple complaints
and identify the "hidden agendas" that so often underlie the chronic grievances.

Communicating with Your Manager (CWYM)
Most managers and team leaders realize the importance of upward communication, but few accept
the responsibility for the quality and effectiveness of communicating with their own managers.
Managers and team leaders will learn how to frame communication so that a desired result is
achieved. View more information.
Resolving Conflicts (RC)
(formerly titled Dealing with Conflicts)
Whenever people work together, conflicts arise. They may be simple misunderstandings that your
managers and team leaders can clear up. Or they may reveal subtle, but pervasive, morale problems
that threaten to tear the delicate fabric of your organization. This module shows managers and team
leaders how to explore a conflict and get to the heart of the problem to correct it before it is too
late. View more information.
Supporting Change (SC)
(formerly titled Preparing for Change)
As the link between management goals and the frontline labor force, the manager or team leader is the
key to preparing for change. Dealing with the "comfort level" of team members and involving them
in detailed discussions will facilitate their acceptance of new ways of doing things. This module
shows managers and team leaders how to introduce change without inducing defensive reactions.

Developing Performance Standards (DPS)
Unless your managers and team leaders are successful in spelling out the organization's specific goals,
their team members are not going to know how to meet those objectives. This module shows trainees how to
establish specific, measurable, attainable, result-oriented, and time-framed performance standards. It
then illustrates the steps that gain team member agreement and commitment to those performance standards.

Management Orientation, Reinforcement, and Support (MORS)
MORS is designed to show how the behavior modeling technique of the Supervision Series works and to
teach specific motivational and participative management skills. As managers and team leaders
are trained to encourage worker communication and participation in problem solving, mid- to senior-level
management should be able to use similar skills to coach and to reinforce their team members.
