Description: The change paradigm requires leadership
that is flexible and adaptable, while maintaining a clear
vision of the goals and the actions necessary to achieve them.
This is the strategic leadership approach; a consistent approach
governed by a thorough understanding of a few key constants
in the supervisor/direct report collaboration.
The SLTI assessment process is a complete development
cycle for supervisors or leaders:
- Leaders complete a self-assessment and discover their
preferred leadership strategies for a variety of contexts.
- Leaders learn to select the best strategies for a given
context.
- Leaders are shown how to use strategies to develop their
direct reports, to move them toward higher autonomy, competence,
and improved productivity.
Following training, the SLTI assessment booklet acts as a
prescriptive job aid supervisors can refer to when considering
how to handle a new employee, a subordinate with evolving
job responsibilities, or a sudden change in a direct report’s
performance.
Here’s a great way for your leaders to gather feedback
from sources all around them and learn to work better with
their supervisor, peers, and direct reports. 360-degree feedback
using SLTI provides the leader and the direct report with
a powerful platform to review their supervisor/direct report
relationship. How and why the leader has used a specific approach
or strategy can be examined, as well as the direct reports
perception of the approach or strategy being used.
Few techniques have greater potential to initiate positive
behavior change than 360-degree feedback with SLTI. Following
discussion of the leader’s feedback, there is a natural
segue into clarifying roles and responsibilities, as well
as a review of performance.
Includes:
- SLTI Feedback Instruments and scoring sheets for supervisor,
peers, and direct reports
- 360-Degree Feedback Profile for charting the feedback,
with guidelines for discussing the results with each person.
Key Benefits:
Participants will:
- Learn to assess and identify an effective work climate,
and understand the implications of work climate or managing
for high performance.
- Self-assess their leadership strategies in varying circumstances
of employee capability, performance, and need for leadership.

(performer-focused) competencies in the context of different

strategies based on the needs of employees.

to improve performance and coach employees to each their
fullest potential.

strategic approach to leadership.

managers about the difference structure and support make in
employee performance, it’s time to play The Strategic
Leadership Game.
A full toolbox of ideas to help managers experience how
leaders manage task performance.
The game consists of two rounds:

any useful support or structure. They’ll experience
first-hand the performance pressure, anxiety and failure employees
feel when assignments are handed over to them—without
appropriate instruction or feedback.
Game B also simulates a routine assignment. But participants
are placed in pairs, one as manager and one as employee. The
manager is responsible for supporting the employee’s
efforts. They’ll discover how the appropriate type of
leadership makes tasks easier to do and instills a sense of
accomplishment.

of tasks.

perform the right tasks well.

JUSTinTIME Leadership is a highly innovative approach to
management founded on extensive research. The basic assumption
is quite simple: The real new economy will increasingly demand
that companies move beyond static long-term staffing models
toward a more fluid model; in response, the most successful
companies will organize themselves around small core groups
of longer-term employees and rely on large, fluid talent pools.
For managers, this will mean drawing on the fluid talent pool
as needed to staff projects, tasks, and responsibilities;
consequently, a whole range of management practices will undergo
fundamental change. JUSTinTIME Leadership will help you implement
these new practices in your organization.

No doubt about it: The newest diversity issue in the workplace
is age diversity. Many organizations have finally figured
out how to recruit young talent only to watch them drive down
a collision course with seasoned employees over issues like
work ethic, respect for authority, dress code, and every work
arrangement imaginable. And organizations aren’t sure
what to do about it.
The fact is, generational conflicts are not merely a matter
of “young versus old.” They mirror the critical
business issues every organization is facing as it transitions
from the workplace of the past to that of the future.
Packed with best practices for fostering intergenerational
understanding and improving teamwork among age-diverse employees,
Managing the Generation Mix will help you place your multi-generational
team on the course to collaboration.
