Introduction to Servant Leadership
2019-05-22 08:00 - 12:00 | Fond du Lac Campus, Room O-103, 235 N National Ave , Fond du Lac, 54935
What are your highest priorities as the leader or as a leader in your organization today? If they are things other than making the satisfaction of employees and customers your highest priority, you may be missing the boat on leading your organization to be a successful as it can be.
Many managers strive to be a Coach, Mentor or Chief Hurdle Remover Officer (CHRO) to develop employees and move work along in their organizations. Unfortunately, they end up being just that, the boss, the driver of results, and finding themselves working way too hard trying to lead and get more out of their associates. A Servant Leader gets results through people by teaching them to be leaders themselves, creating “power-ship” and greatness from those within the organization.
If you want to learn what it takes to be a Servant Leader and understand the benefits to your organization, this course will help you:

Understand the concept of Servant Leadership.
Explain how it works and can be a catalyst for greatness within organizations.
Describe the characteristics of a Servant Leader.
Discuss the behaviors and actions of a Servant Leader.
Determine if you have what it takes to be a Servant Leader.

2019-06-18 08:00 - 12:00 | Fond du Lac Campus, Room O-104, 235 N National Ave. , Fond du Lac , 54935
Most would agree that introductions to company processes and policies are a “must” when bringing in a new hire. Yet it’s also just as important to help new hires gain a comprehensive view of their role and establish an effective network of support. Relationships and roles have the greatest impact on an employee’s immediate satisfaction and productivity in their new position. Clear expectations between a manager and his/her direct reports can make the difference between a relationship that succeeds and one that fails. Onboarding is the training course you need to help your new hires build a foundation for success from the get-go. At its core is the Onboarding Model with four overlapping elements — Resources, Rules, Relationships, and Roles. Using these elements as a cornerstone in the onboarding process, managers learn how to become an active participant in helping new hires not only accelerate their involvement, but establish a groundwork for continual progression.
