Supervision, Leadership & Officer Discipline
Length of Seminar: 2.5 Days
Instructor: Harry Dolan
Course Overview:
Motivation and Successful Leadership Traits: In order to influence others and move today's work team forward, we must first develop a clear understanding of how current principles of motivation contrast to managerial folklore.
Value the Significance of Coaching & Counseling: When applied properly and consistently, coaching serves to minimize the need for counseling and disciplinary action. Understanding why leaders fail to coach & counsel before matters get out of hand is vital to organizational success.
Administer Disciplinary Action While Maintaining the Professionalism of the Organization and Dignity of the Employee: Develop a solid understanding of the principles of progressive discipline, just cause standards, performance improvement plans, employee and management's rights, employee duty to cooperate, last chance agreements, and termination. Low morale and significant organizational stress surrounds the misunderstanding and misapplication of these fundamental principles. Learn what to do (specifically) when problems first arise.
