More Than a Gut Feeling III - DVD

Best-Seller!

Free Online Preview

This course is also available for online training, see details below.

More Than a Gut Feeling III teaches you to select the most qualified job candidate by applying the ever-popular behavioral approach to interviewing. This method, developed by industrial psychologist Dr. Paul Green, directs you to probe the job applicant for specific examples of their past. The reason is simple: The best predictor of a job applicant's future work behavior is their past work behavior.

Viewers of More Than a Gut Feeling III will learn helpful job-related interviewing techniques practiced by so many hiring staffs all over the world. You can refrain from judging an applicant on gut feeling by: asking rapport-building questions; discussing the job; taking notes and explaining why; asking specific, open-ended questions to get specific answers; allowing for silence if necessary; maintaining control; getting contrary evidence and evaluating. This video applies these techniques to the most common interviewing situations and helps you to refrain from judging the candidate on intuition.

KEY LEARNING POINTS

  • How to plan a logical, structured interview that includes pre-planned interview questions
  • How to recognize the importance of developing an interview plan based on thorough knowledge of the job
  • How to understand that a behavioral example is a specific life-history event that can be used to determine the presence or absence of a skill
  • How to use interviewing techniques that allow for interviewer control
  • How to explain why it is important to make selection decisions based on facts and information, not on a gut feeling
  • How to explain why the concept of "the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior" is so important in the behavioral-based interview process
  • How to recognize why some questions cannot be legally asked in the interview process

Added features and benefits of DVD training include:

  • English and Spanish versions – many also include Portuguese
  • A customizable PowerPoint™ presentation
  • Informative training points and bonus material for refresher or training talks

    A Leader’s Guide to Delegating - DVD

    new.gif

    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:

    • Analyze the Task: Get specific about what needs to be done to achieve the goal. This includes setting a deadline and sizing up resources.
    • Choose the Right Delegatee: The right candidate should be highly motivated and possess the needed skills for the assignment.
    • Assign the Task: Give clear instructions on desired outcomes – down to the details like resources available, deadlines, follow up steps and the amount of authority being given.
    • Execute the Task: During the task, ensure that other team members are ready to support him/her by communicating the assignment and the authority given.
    • Conduct Regular Feedback Sessions: Monitor issues so they don’t become problems, and give the person opportunities to ask questions about the assignment.

    Effective delegation accomplishes more than just the task at hand. It also builds trust for future delegations, helps employees develop new skills, reduces managerial stress and improves organizational productivity.

    Program Includes: VHS or DVD, Facilitator’s Guide, CD-ROM with PowerPoint Presentation and a pdf of the Delegatee Checklist, 10 Participant Workbooks, 10 Reminder Cards
