Ah, the incredible power of praise – when to give it, how to give it, and to whom. You’ll receive 8 “praise phrases” that show people you’ve noticed and appreciate who they are. We’ll discuss why singing the praises of your employees helps create that motivating environment we all like to work in. And I know you! You’re thinking, “But I have someone whose praises don’t warrant singing.” Ah, well...we’ll see about that! We will discuss coaching and counseling before the need for a reprimand arises. You’ll know when to use which technique, why it’s important to consider the differences, and why supervisors tend to avoid these vital areas of effective management. You’ll also be given tools that will help you deal with the dreaded case of the necessary reprimand – and you’ll leave the workshop feeling more confident in your ability to handle it well. It’s an area most of us would rather forget – but as supervisors, it’s not likely we’ll get off scot-free. Why not feel in control when handling these necessary parts of your job? This workshop will help you do just that. Virtual Trainer: Linda Bruno, Library Consultant

In the last of the 5-part series, we will take a closer look at how your leadership style is affected by your personality – AND how that affects those who follow you. How does “who you are” affect “how they follow”? And how do we hire the right followers – the first time? Not just someone who will do what we say, but someone who can contribute in a meaningful way. What should we look for? What should we avoid - at all costs? Save yourself hours of future work by being more aware of what you need and who fits that bill...Attend this workshop and learn not only about your own leadership style, but learn about the behavioral styles of your staff and gain an understanding about why those styles matter in choosing new employees. Virtual Trainer: Linda Bruno, Library Consultant
