C-4: Performance Skills
(Leadership/Supervisory Skills)

Communicating, Contracting, Counseling, Confronting

 

Workshop Description

This workshop consists of four modules that provide skills to help you manage interpersonal relationships in the workplace, whether you are a manager, supervisor, team leader, project manager or individual contributor.

 

Communicating:
Speaking and Listening

In the past, listening was defined as a one-step, passive process.  With today’s environment of high-performance work teams and empowerment, it is critical that listening become an active process – one that results in full comprehension, appreciation and cooperation.  In this module, we learn to master active listening in the stages it occurs: awareness, attending, interpreting and perception checking.

Contracting:
Getting results with and through others

It happens all too often. We give others a project and a deadline. Yet, the work is not completed on time. Or, it is not done correctly. Or, even worse, it is not done at all! This module prevents negative outcomes and assures positive ones by acknowledging the fact that successful delegation depends on collaboration and, when necessary, problem solving. We learn how to lead a discussion so that others clearly understand what we need from them; define the tools and information needed to get the job done; and follow-up to ensure that steady progress is being made. Also, we learn how to hold the other person accountable when they have broken their commitment to us. We learn how to get uncommitted, yet capable people back on track and keep them there.

Counseling:
Helping others resolve their own problems

In this module we learn how to apply active listening to help solve problems, by focusing on helpful and positive ways of responding to people who need our help.

Confronting:
Addressing Performance Issues

How can we have a productive meeting with someone who has broken his or her commitment to us? How do we hold them accountable and get them to honor their    commitment? We learn how to get uncommitted, yet capable people back on track. We learn how to assess when it is appropriate to have this meeting, how to prepare for it, and how to handle the emotions that may arise. Ultimately we learn how to assure a successful outcome even when at times we need to bring up consequences.
