Pivot Point: Get Real. Get Results.

Developing Management Expertise

Oh my gosh! I’m in charge. Now what do I do? 

You thought that a promotion to team leader was something you wanted, but you never thought that it would be this challenging. Everyone looks to you to solve their problems now and you wish you didn’t have to learn how to manage people by trial and error . . .  especially the “error” part.  You know that your future as a leader will be judged by how well you handle this assignment, you just wish you were better prepared . . .

If this sounds familiar, then PivotPoint Developing Management Expertise is for you. 

Who Should Attend

PivotPoint Developing Management Expertise is designed for those who have been assigned management responsibilities – project and/or people – but who need formal management training or retraining.  When faced with tough management issues, you need to be absolutely certain you are up to the challenge.

Unlike other management training programs, the PivotPoint program takes a disciplined approach that gives participants management techniques that work, then holds them accountable for applying these techniques to their individual work situations.  Participants meet weekly for eight (8) weeks. Each session will be 2½ hours in length.  This process enables participants to put into action the management techniques they will learn since they will have application and practice time between sessions.  Each session ends with specific goals and action steps to be accomplished by the next session.

What’s In It For YOU

Simple – you will become a better manager.  You will benefit from higher staff morale, more motivation, improved communications, and lower employee turnover.  You will know how to develop your team members, manage their time and have greater confidence in your decision-making abilities.  Bottom line – you will become more results-oriented by developing goal setting and goal attainment behaviors.

The PivotPoint Difference

Repetition. Repetition. Repetition. Spaced repetition, that is. Education experts agree that there is much higher retention of subject matter when a student is exposed to the material repeatedly over several spaced intervals.  Instead of offering a day-long seminar where a participant is exposed to a large quantity of information over a relatively short period of time, we present the subject matter in 2 ½  hour sessions over 8 weeks.  The result is that participants get a much higher return on their investment in skills development.

Additionally, the P2 process holds participants accountable for taking action during the programs.  Participants will be required to:

§         Attend every session, complete all assignments, and be prepared to share their experiences--positive and negative--with the rest of the participants throughout the program.

§         Complete exercises that may seem difficult at first, but that have been proven to get positive results.

§         Confront themselves about bad habits that limit their success--procrastination, lousy time management, failure to plan, reluctance to take action, self-deprecation, and self-doubt—and change these into success habits.

This program is not for everyone.  It is for independent professionals who are serious about changing their behavior to improve their effectiveness.  The P2 process – combining “spaced repetition” learning with accountability for implementing program concepts and techniques – results in positive behavior changes and improved business performance.
