Leadership Training for Results: Unleash Talent in Others 12/13/2023 8:30 AM - 12/15/2023 4:30 PM

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 15:07:47 GMT

Whether leadership is given with a title or earned through the respect of others, it is a unique and difficult skill that requires the ability and willingness to face the ultimate unpredictable variable: people. This variability takes the form not just of diversity of people (generational, cultural, educational, mindset, etc.), but also the differences in lives, emotions, situations, abilities, and preferences.

What You’ll Learn

In this course, we distinguish between leadership (the people side of getting things done) and management (the process side). Both elements are necessary, yet not individually sufficient. These two aspects come together in five key drivers:

1. Take responsibility for the future (self-direction and learning agility) - Leaders cocreate the vision, work to achieve it, achieve results, and learn from their mistakes. They follow their values to create a productive culture through their leadership and focus on developing people to their maximum potential.

2. Build a culture of trust and psychological safety - Leaders make it safe for people to perform and to innovate. By creating teams and partnerships through the development of trust and respect, leaders are able to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts.

3. Create a culture for collaboration - Leaders allow solutions to develop from the best ideas of the group and take a team approach to problem-solving. A collaborative environment is based on trust in each other, and in the systems and resources needed to be successful. Leaders enable their teams to flourish by providing resources that are necessary to allow people to do their jobs well.

4. Communicate effectively - Leaders influence people in their work by building relationships, creating a compelling desired future, and helping people figure out where they fit into that. They do this through effective and empathetic questioning and listening to everyone with a perspective on the organization to help people feel a sense of belonging and being important They actively solicit feedback and act on what they hear to build credibility and trust.

5. Demonstrate reliability - Leaders do what they say they will do, and ensure that others do as well, to obtain the results that are vital for organizational success. They set clear performance objectives and close the gap between expected and actual performance through coaching and mentoring. They give credit to others not taking credit for themselves.

Build on your unique strengths as a leader and develop additional competencies that will help you achieve the skills and characteristics that can push you to your next level of success as a leader in your organization.

Expect Thoroughly Trained Trainers: The participants in Leadership Training for Results: Unleash Talent in Others are made up of a spectrum of experience from people new to sales to veterans retooling their skills. Psychological Safety is emphasized to create a safe place to try out new skills and ideas. The trainers are highly vetted and undergo intense training that is ISO9002 certified to achieve consistent results globally. While part of a global organization, they are connected to your local culture, customs and language.

Expect Breakthroughs: Each time a new tool is introduced, it is demonstrated and practiced the ‘right’ way and coached in the moment before moving it out into your sales practice. Once a tool has been tested with customers and others, the group holds itself accountable by reporting back on what did or did not work. This fascinating approach makes it possible for everyone to learn from each other’s efforts. By experiencing a series of successful attempts with positive reinforcement, habits are changed, and new skills are ingrained.

Pregnancy Accommodations: Navigating Difficult, Yet Common Scenarios to Keep Employers Compliant 12/13/2023 10:00 AM - 12/13/2023 11:15 AM

Mon, 20 Nov 2023 16:33:30 GMT

Managing employee accommodation requests is among the most difficult for any HR professional and in-house counsel. The job is even more challenging now, as the recently enacted Pregnant Workers Fairness Act (PWFA) requires employers to provide reasonable accommodations due to an employee’s limitations associated with pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions.

In this complimentary 75-minute webinar, Littler Shareholder Jeff Nowak and FMLASource Vice President Matt Morris will tackle the most common and difficult pregnancy accommodation scenarios that employers face and provide practical suggestions on how employers can address these situations. Through the use of case studies, their usual cheesy humor and even the customary holiday song, Jeff and Matt will answer the following:

• Isn’t the PWFA just another version of the ADA? How are they different?

• How broad is the PWFA? Does it cover in vitro fertilization and related conditions and treatments outside of pregnancy?

• How do I communicate with an employee when they request a pregnancy accommodation?

• When can we place an employee on a leave of absence instead of providing an on-the-job accommodation?

• When can an employer seek medical documentation to support the need for an accommodation?

• For how long is a pregnancy accommodation reasonable and required?

• Does the PWFA require employers to maintain a light duty policy exclusively for pregnant employees?
