The ability to work effectively with other people is the key to every leader and manager’s success. This critical success factor is often overlooked however, taking a back-seat to common managerial training on topics such as financial management, policies/procedures, or tactical elements of specific jobs.

By definition, effective leadership and management require trusting relationships with other people. This is accomplished when leaders and managers can first show that they care about the well-being and success of those they are leading.  Before the management of metrics and job-specific KPI’s, it’s about developing relationships first, which drastically simplifies the process of influencing behaviors. ​

Transforming Leadership’s Intentional Leader-Manager Workshop is a one day event designed to help leaders scale high performance throughout their team and overall organization through implementing four leadership and management models.

The Intentional Leader-Manager workshop is for leaders with one or more direct reports and includes interactive topics such as:​

• What makes a good leader-manager
• How to develop trust with your direct reports
• How to connect with those you lead
• Effective methods of encouragement
• How to become an internal coach through collaboration
• The importance of properly delegating
• Implementation plan and guidelines

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence is defined as “a set of emotional and social skills that influence the way we perceive and express ourselves, develop and maintain social relationships, cope with challenges, and use emotional information in an effective and meaningful way.”​

While emotional intelligence isn’t the sole predictor of human performance and development potential, it is proven to be a key indicator in these areas. Emotional intelligence is also not a static factor — to the contrary, one’s emotional intelligence can change over time and can be developed in targeted areas.​

EQ-i 2.0

The EQ-i 2.0, and the complimentary EQ 360, are industry leaders as Emotional Intelligence assessments. The reports are Workplace oriented, providing individuals and businesses with the insight to address challenge areas, and capitalize on existing strengths.

EQ reports include but are not limited to the following: ​​

• Workplace Report

Everything DiSC® is a very simple-and memorable-personality assessment and suite of tools that:

• Provides a common language to help teams understand one another and work better together
• Acts as a springboard for conversation and team building
• Improves employee and workplace communication​

The model is made up of four basic styles: D, i, S, and C. Unlike simple personality tests, there is no perfect DiSC style. Everyone has a unique blend of different styles and priorities, and we believe these differences are extremely valuable. Assessing the differences and harnessing their value creates healthier organizations.

The DiSC model is perfect for individual learning, development planning, and makes for a creative and fun team building tool.

In High Performance organizations it is important that the Core Values of the team members align with the Core Values of the organization.

While most people have a good idea of the values that drive their behavior, many have never sat down and clearly identified those precious Core Values that should be used to guide our personal actions and decisions.​

To help the individual more clearly define their personal Core Values, Transforming Leadership has developed an invaluable development tool with the My-DNA Workspace.

The My-DNA Program is an online, Coach Assisted Workspace that guides the user through the process of identifying their personal Core Values and ultimately generating their own Core Values Statement.

The functional health of an organization is measured by the Core Values by which it operates.

Transforming Leadership believes that the Core Values of an organization are the “foundational” DNA of that organization. Your Core Values are WHO YOU ARE. Our Organizational DNA Profile and Report® will reveal to organizational leaders if a gap exists between who they are, their Demonstrated Core Values, and who they want to be, their Core Values Statement. As a Gap develops, trust erodes. Transforming Leadership can provide you with the tools to close the Gap, build trust, decrease turnover, and dramatically improve effectiveness and engagement.

The Organizational DNA Profile & Report reveals:

• What managers/management (and the organization) really care about…
• Are there leadership challenges in a specific department/location?
• Are there policies/procedures in place to drive Core Values?
• Where do leadership gaps exist?
• Where is there conflict between “who we say we are” and “who we really are?
• Basic recommendations for “closing the gap.”
• What employees perceive your values to be vs. not be…
• Steps you can take to align your values.
• Hidden core value strengths of your organization that you may be unaware of.
• Reasons why your employees may not be performing at their optimal potential.
• Conflicting messages that your employees may be receiving without your knowledge.
