Management Mentoring and Coaching Program Continued

This week, we are continuing our discussion of the new Mentoring and Coaching Program we are now offering here at LWS.  Last week, we discussed the first component of the program, with our Learning On Demand Programs for Managers.  This week we are covering the next component of our program: films.  These films will be used to expand upon the knowledge students will gain in the individual Mentoring and Coaching Program.

B. Films

Using a Skype call or GoToMeeting the manager will watch a specialized training film. These films are designed to build upon the foundational skills presented in each Learning On Demand program, therefore refining the skill set of each manager. Upon completion of the film, the manager will be engaged in a real-time discussion about the content and how it applies to the job.
We will recommend specific film topics that apply to the work of the manager. For instance:

A. The Business of Paradigms
B. The Unorganized Manager.
C. Flight of the Buffalo
D. Performance Matters – Praise
E. Performance Matters – Criticism
F. The Clarity Imperative
G. Gung Ho
H. Leadership: An Act of Possibility
I. The Three Signs of a Miserable Job
J. The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

 

Next week, we will cover the third, and final, portion of the Mentoring and Coaching Program.

 

The time is now.

Management Mentoring and Coaching Program

A coach’s job is to bring out the best in the individual and the team.

We always work here to develop programs that fill needs within our industry.  We have now developed a mentoring and coaching program addressing client needs in the area of individual employee development. We were approached with the need to assist with individual managers in accelerating their development on the job. This also covered those instances where an employee was having difficulty in adjusting to a new role.

These programs have been divided into three pieces: Learning On Demand, Films and Work Assignments.  Over the course of this next week, we are going to tackle each of these pieces in an individual post.

Learning On Demand

The Learning On Demand programs consist of a pre-test, a video program and a final assessment. The course program itself lasts approximately two hours.  There will be discussions with the manager to review the program and to consider specific action items for the week ahead after the course has been completed.

We will recommend Specific Learning Programs – LOD – that apply to the work of the manager. For instance:
1. Basic Management
2. Leadership
3. Make It Matter
4. Time Management
5. Change
6. The Art of the Possible
7. Standards of Performance
8. Best Practices
9. The Balanced Scorecard
10. Activity Based Management

These programs will be enhanced, and the individual learning and knowledge deepened, with individualized coaching to follow up on the classes.  In addition, Ron tailors live online coursework for each manager who is taking a Mentoring and Coaching program.

Next, we will cover the learning films that Ron uses to build upon the knowledge in the online courses.

The time is now.
