An important role that supervisors and managers play is to influence and guide the behavior of the people they supervise and manage. People's attitudes and behaviors are infectious, good and bad. Often employees bring attitudes and behaviors that interfere with not only their own successful job performance, but also the success of their work teams.
In this workshop, you'll discuss how people's attitudes affect their actions and the people around them, and how, as a supervisor, you can coach employees to break through negative and limiting attitudes that keep them from performing at their best. You'll learn to identify how people react to stress, how to deal with defensive behavior, and how to coach employees to find the better, more positive ways to deal with the challenges they face on the job.
