Management Series Information: "Communicate to Motivate"
Are your managers and supervisors inspiring your people to high commitment and productivity, or are they losing your best people for your business and costing you money?
"The world of the '90's and beyond ... will belong to
passionate, driven leaders -- people who not only have an enormous amount
of energy but who can energize those whom they lead."
- Jack Welch, CEO and Chairman of General Electric
Why do so many businesses fail to provide training for their managers and
supervisors that will avoid the costs associated with disgruntled, unproductive,
over-stressed or vengeful employees? Because it has been too time-consuming and
expensive. It's difficult for many managers in small, medium-sized, and even
large businesses to get away to focus on how to improve their management style
and communication ability. It usually requires travel, time away from the
business and families, and is often quite expensive, when considering travel,
lodging, training and time lost at work.
Many businesses today simply don't take time to develop the most important
skills a leader or manager should develop: the ability to inspire a worker to be
on top of his game, to truly care about the success of the business, to be
creative and innovative, and to be a loyal team player. An excellent worker who
cares about the business will produce a higher return on investment through
higher sales, productivity and longevity.
How you communicate, how you build loyalty and commitment, how you assign goals,
and how you understand your workers has everything to do with your bottom line.
Why care about disgruntled and stressed employees? Because unhappy employees
cost business big bucks and, in turn, hurt business success.
Consider this: Job stress is estimated to cost American industry over $300 billion annually, or $7500 per employee, as assessed by absenteeism, diminished productivity, employee turnover, accidents, direct medical, legal, and insurance fees, worker's compensation awards, and much more. Put into perspective, that dollar amount is more than the total net profits of all of the Fortune 500 companies combined. Unskilled leaders will see this happening often. However, leaders who are skilled in communication, motivation and emotional intelligence can turn around a bad situation and can transform a good business into a great one.

It is founded on the principles of "emotional intelligence", defined by Daniel Goleman, Ph.D. as: "...the ability to manage ourselves and our relationships effectively" If you aren't aware of the best ways to communicate a request, feedback or criticism, if you are unaware of how others see you as a motivator or communicator, if productivity is essential in your business in terms of sales, customer service, and high repeat business, then you absolutely must get training to learn how to be an excellent leader. Self-awareness and self-management are absolutely essential to leadership.
"Interpersonal ineptitude in leaders lowers everyone's performance. It wastes time, creates acrimony, corrodes motivation and commitment, builds hostility and apathy."
No business I know of can afford to have emotionally unintelligent leaders or managers. The overall objective of this course, "Communicate to Motivate" focuses on increasing your level of awareness of attitudes, actions, words, systems and policies that build and sustain motivation in your group. In addition, you will learn strategies, techniques and methods that you can adapt to your style.
