 Motivation & Inspiration Carol Dweck Professor, Stanford University
Program Highlights:
People are fairly evenly divided between those with either a growth or a fixed mindset about intelligence and talent. And leaders’ mindsets, Professor Dweck shows, influence their ability to grow on the job and to develop successful teams. Leaders with a growth mindset (who assume talents can be developed) place high value on learning, are open to feedback, and are confident in their ability to cultivate their own and others’ abilities. Leaders with a fixed mindset (who assume basic talents are carved in stone) place greater value on looking smart and are less likely to believe that they or others can change. How does this play out in an organization? Leaders who believe intelligence is static place little value in developing staff, and in turn foster a fixed mindset environment. However, leaders with a growth mindset value effort in developing abilities and thus evaluate and praise workers to create optimal motivation and teamwork. Mindsets can be taught, and Professor Dweck shares research in how fixed mindsets can be identified and changed to growth mindsets.

But then most training programs don't feature the engaging meerkat of the Kalahari Desert in a starring role. One for All - The Meerkat Way is an inspirational new program that utilizes riveting footage of meerkats in their natural habitat using teamwork and cooperation to ensure their survival! One for All both trains and motivates with its down-to-earth demonstration of important teamwork principles. Participants will clearly understand the value of team-oriented behaviors as the following training points are highlighted:
Everybody loves meerkats. But as a species, the meerkat should never have survived at all. These tiny, vulnerable creatures live in an incredibly hostile environment full of savage predators, such as jackals and martial eagles. The fact that they survive at all can be attributed to a single extraordinary talent: their ability to cooperate and create an interdependent culture. That is the heart of this upbeat and informative documentary-style training program. Beautifully filmed by BBC crews, One for All can work wonders to improve an attitude of teamwork and cooperation in your organization. Added features and benefits of DVD training include:

The first two parts of The unorganized manager series show that no matter how efficient managers may think they are, they cannot be fully effective until they learn how to manage their time. In Part 2: salvation the manager has returned to Earth full of enthusiasm, but his inability to establish priorities and to delegate effectively lands him back in front of St Peter. The program shows why managers should consider the actual purpose of their jobs, and not the function. They must learn how to schedule time for active tasks, while leaving time for reactive tasks. By delegating and retaining responsibility, they will make more effective use of their own time and that of their team, and contribute to everyone’s motivation and morale. The benefits

 Dr. Stephen Covey, founder and chair of the Covey Leadership Center and author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, once again brings us an inspirational set of leadership training programs. The series breaks new ground, shifting the paradigm in ways that will surprise even the most seasoned leader. For instance: A Grander Goal takes a striking look at character, bringing to bear that which is at once the simplest and most complex: love and forgiveness. It's a story of how one man's unselfish character is providing direction for young unemployed men in Uganda. (11 minutes) Journey to Discovery tells the tale of a successful writer at a crossroads, a man questioning his life from a personal and professional perspective. Unable to write, he wanders the streets and finds the character he needs to once again take pen in hand. This heartwarming story (and its surprise ending!) will help your leaders rediscover the passion from which breakthroughs and innovations arise.(14 minutes) A Better Way offers a new approach to the concept of 'win-win.' It's an intriguing look at three South African retailers, each facing unique challenges to one common concern: increasing profitability. They find increased profits - and more - with customers, vendors and employees by simply shifting from an attitude of competition to one of cooperation. (15 minutes) Law of the Harvest provides an enlightening look at the true meaning of 'reaping what you sow.' Viewers meet a potato farmer whose story exemplifies that the technology and quick fixes many of us have come to rely on are no substitute for patience, perseverance and preparation(7 minutes). Throughout this series the lesson is clear: there is plenty in this world for everyone if we work with integrity, respect and cooperation. Each is an excellent stand-alone program; used together, they comprise a comprehensive multi-session training program. program contents:DVD or Video, 4 programs (A Grander Goal, Journey to Discovery, A Better Way and Law of the Harvest), Leader's Guide and Participant's Workbook

Produced - 2007 This course is also available for online training, see details below. What’s every top manager’s secret to success? In a word: delegate, delegate, delegate. But getting work done through others can often be difficult because it inevitably involves a loss of control. This program outlines a solid process for delegating and gives valuable insight to both new and experienced managers. Delegating responsibility is a dance - a delicate partnership between manager and subordinate involving trust, authority and above all, communication. Brand new managers find delegating to be the hardest part of transitioning into the new role – while many experienced managers still struggle to get it right years after assuming a leadership position. This training program provides a plan for successful delegation, presented in five steps:
Effective delegation accomplishes more than just the task at hand.

Appraisal interviews offer managers a golden opportunity to identify problems and opportunities, motivate staff and improve performance. But beware! the mishandling of such interviews can create the very opposite effect. Three inept managerial characters show how an appraisal interview should not be conducted: The first never prepares or makes time; the second is too fond of the sound of their own ranting and, the last manager, cannot bring themself to make any criticism for fear of creating bad feeling. Understandably, the poor employee who is subjected to these face-to-face farces becomes increasingly disenchanted, baffled and alienated. How am I doing? uses the analogy of the distraught interviewee's medical checkup to highlight each manager's mistakes - and to illustrate exactly how an appraisal should be handled. The benefits
