Team Collaboration - idXready to go seminars

I recently had the opportunity to present the idXready Team Collaboration Skills for a  team within a large insurance company.   It was productive for the client, and great fun to deliver!

 This seminar was presented to a newly forming team of 30 people, who had fromed no bad habits or negative judgments.  That was a great advantage.

Here is what the Team Leader had to say about idXready: Collaborative Skills for Teams.

"The Collaborative Skills for Teams training session received excellent feedback from the 30 participants.   The content and structure of the sessions were fun, engaging and informative.  I would recommend this session for any newly-formed teams to set the groundwork for more productive team member interaction."  Joanne T - Team Leader - Large Insurance Company

DiSC Frontline Mangement - idXready-to-go

idXready:  Frontline Management:  Leveraging the Strengths of Your Style

Your key to idxlearning:

A review of the DiSC Learning Model

The DiSC Learning Model shows us that there are four unique management styles.

• D - Dominance:  Active & Questioning
• i  - influence:      Active and Accepting
• S - Steadiness:  Thoughtful & Accepting
• C - Conscientiousness:  Thoughtful & Questioning

Based on our DiSC preferences, one or two of these styles will seem more natural to us than others.

Management Strengths and Challenges:

There are eight key management areas presented in idXready: Frontline Management

• Communication
• Delegation
• Directing People
• Developing People
• Decision-Making
• Time Management
• Problem-Solving
• Motivating Others

When faced with an area that challenges us, we can learn to use one of our style strengths to help us be more successful with others in these areas.

Overusing Strengths:

Sometimes challenges arise when we overuse our strengths.

People of other DiSC styles perceive our strengths differently, especially when they are overused.

In idXready Frontline Management participants will learn to:

• Understand the perspectives of others, enabling us to anticipate their reactions and adjust our approaches when needed to best leverage our strengths.
• Recognize both the benefits and limitations of our strengths, we can learn to use them more appropriately to become the "ideal managers" that we desire to be.

Capitalizing on Team Talent

Tom Peters has been quoted as saying . . .

People are enthusiastic, motivated, creative, and totally committed except for the eight hours a day they work for you!

An exaggeration we hope, but few would argue with the fact that many employees are much more enthusiastic, motivated, creative and committed to non-work activity than they are to work.  It is a constant challenge for managers at all levels, in all sized companies to determine how to Capitalize on Team Talent, and get the optimum performance out of their people.

According to the Gallup Organization , a key differential between a staffer who feels like a valuable part of a company and one who is disengaged is the quality of leadership in the workplace.

A recent study revealed that 70% of U.S. employees say they feel either "not engaged" or "actively disengaged" at work 

Business units with such a large number of dissatisfied employees "have more absenteeism and lower productivity--as well as ...

51% higher turnover rates than those with engaged employees," says James Harter, chief scientist for Gallup's international management practice.

Managers who focus on team talent assign their employees to jobs that play to their strengths, make sure they have the resources they need to perform well, respect their opinions and push them to advance.

idXready: Capitalizing on Team Talents Program might be just the ticket for your team.
"You can do it . . . we can help."
