Leadership Skills Development

One of the biggest mistakes we see in organizations is when an individual is promoted to a leadership position but receives no training on how to effectively carry out that role. Leadership skills are not genetically acquired. A person does not automatically become a leader by virtue of his or her position on the organization chart. While some people might naturally be more comfortable in a leadership role than others, virtually every leader can benefit from skill-building through specialized training and development.

At The Centre Group, our mission is to equip your supervisors and managers with tools and techniques to achieve greater results through people. We do this in a variety of ways, including one-on-one coaching and on-site workshops and classes.

We’ll design a training program just for your organization, customized to meet the unique needs of your employees, your culture, and your industry. Here are a few examples of typical programs:

Personal Awareness and Communication
Goal: Leaders will understand their own communication style and will “flex” their style to relate better to others.

Embracing Change
Goal: Leaders will implement strategies to help employees accept change in a positive light.

Improving Employee Performance
Goal: Leaders will effectively set and communicate performance expectations, diagnose performance problems, and build performance improvement plans.

Coaching for Results
Goal: Leaders will demonstrate sound coaching skills, helping employees perform to their potential.

Resolving Conflict
Goal: Leaders will manage workplace conflicts to enhance both relationships and job performance.

Building Effective Teams
Goal: Leaders will successfully build highly effective teams through application of teamwork principles.

We can also provide training in compliance issues, such as preventing workplace harassment.

We’re ready to help your organization start right now in growing outstanding leaders.
