Supervisory Essentials II
TOD-6320
Many managers find it difficult to figure out what motivates employees from generations other than their own. Staff may also find themselves frustrated by the differences that generational perspectives bring: while a twenty-something complains, “My boss never provides any feedback,” his baby-boomer coworker has a different problem: “Why does my supervisor want to review everything I do? She must think I’m incompetent!” These are two very different perspectives on the same manager and the same management style. In this webinar you will learn:
- What types of recognition motivate each generation;
- What the latest research says about the generational divide in recognition;
- Techniques to match your recognition and management style to your individual employees.

TOD-6330
Win-win communication is an effective form of communicating where everyone involved in the process works cooperatively. This is especially difficult when competing concerns or needs create competition. In order to achieve win-win communication results, you must first be willing to act upon the highest intentions in yourself, set aside any “attitudes” that might undermine positive results, and resist your human urge to be right, look good, or teach a lesson. This form of communication is about everyone being able to win. It is not about “getting” the other person or proving that you are right and others are wrong. In this short webinar, we will practice congruent, empathetic, and accepting styles that communicate your willingness to find common ground and win-win solutions.
