    These 21 valuable lessons will help you know just what to say and how you should handle virtually any situation. They are timeless, universal and can be easily applied to your everyday work life. For example:

    • eating your vegetables (taking care of your health)
    • tucking in your shirt (paying attention to your image in the workplace)
    • don’t be late for dinner (getting to work on time, keeping appointments, meeting deadlines)
    • be polite (showing common courtesy to others)

    Leadership and Self-Deception -DVD

    Leadership & Self-Deception training program illustrates this "simple" concept by presenting an unforgettable video re-enactment matched with a comprehensive workshop. The video and workshop exercises offer a poignant look at how self-deception prevents us from seeing the obvious solution to some of our biggest workplace problems, providing tools for analyzing and solving problems, at their core.

    Participants learn that:

    • most - if not all - "people problems" (poor communication, lack of teamwork, unresolved conflict...) share a common root: self-deception.
    • the very people involved in resolving a given problem contribute to it, and even help spread it.
    • the solution to a problem always begins with them.

    Learning about self-deception and its solutions enables us to:

    • enthusiastically focus on results
    • enthusiastically help others achieve results
    • actively and concurrently learn and teach
    • take responsibility

      Program includes: Two versions of the video re-enactment (one with a host; one without) on VHS or DVD, Leader's Guide, PowerPoint Presentation on CD-ROM, 10 copies of the book, Leadership & Self-Deception, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards.

    Dealing with Conflict Leaders Guide Kit

    Most of us are less skilled at handling conflict than we should be. Although studies show that a negotiating behavior is usually the best response to a conflict situation, negotiation is a difficult endeavor-one that requires considerable skill and thought. The normal negotiating behavior, as typically practiced in business and social contexts, does not generally produce high levels of satisfaction for either participant. The Dealing with Conflict Instrument (DWCI) will help change this by encouraging conflicting parties to shift to a more collaborative style in order to find and pursue shared interests, creating a win/win outcome.

    The Dealing with Conflict Instrument presents five conflict-handling styles. The five styles; accommodate, avoid, compromise, compete, and collaborate, encompass all the effective ways of dealing with conflict.

    By completing the Dealing with Conflict Instrument-Self, participants will learn about their own natural style tendencies, while the information gathered from the DWCI 360-Degree Feedback set will give them insight into how they are perceived by others when resolving conflicts. The combined results of these assessments indicate which styles of conflict resolution need the most improvement.

    Participants will explore the characteristics of each conflict-handling style which will help them develop greater style flexibility. In order to decide which style is best in a given situation, they will learn to dissect situations, using Conflict Situation Analysis.

    DWCI is a significant improvement over conventional conflict assessments. It shortens usage time, produces clearer and more user-friendly results, and includes helpful support material. DWCI is compatible with most existing training programs and is the easiest way to update assessment materials.

    What causes the most stress across ALL occupations? The interpersonal conflicts we all experience on a daily basis - with coworkers or supervisors. Give your employees a memorable, easy-to-implement tool to resolve conflict.

    • C - CLARIFY the issue
    • A - ADDRESS the problem

    • M - MANAGE your way to resolution

    What makes the C.A.L.M. approach unique is the first stage - CLARIFY, where employees step back and think. They rationally examine what's happening, why it's happening, why they feel the way they do, and what they need to keep in mind as they address the issue.
