Description

Leader Effectiveness Training (L.E.T.) is a workshop designed to help participants learn the principles and skills needed to increase their effectiveness in their leadership roles. L.E.T. places a very heavy emphasis upon skill practice and mastery. The basic learning model includes presentation of a concept, discussion, demonstration, practice, feedback and discussion/application. This sequence is followed for each major skill category. Then the sequence is expanded to integrate the skills into a whole system of behaviors that allows each participant to make decisions about when to use each skill or combination of skills.

Who Should Attend

This course is appropriate for managers, supervisors, program managers, project leaders, human resource professionals, internal consultants or facilitators, group or team leaders, and in team oriented businesses, all team members.

Learning Objectives

Through training, participants will learn the major content areas of the L.E.T. model:

  • Foundation. The underlying principles and assumptions. A conceptual model. Core values.
  • Helping Skills. Listening and problem solving skills that allow the participant to help other people solve problems.
  • Confrontation Skills. Language, communication and problem solving skills that help the participant ex- press their own problems and gain cooperation from others to solve them.
  • Problem Prevention Skills. Self-disclosure skills that prevent relationship problems and increase productive work time.
  • Conflict Resolution Skills. Tools to help the participant achieve win/win solutions when they are in conflict with others. (Also to facilitate the resolution of conflict among others when appropriate).
