How do workshops based on strategic use of the Predictive Index® help develop more successful managers?

As your business moves forward, what will it need to survive and flourish? Do you have the leadership in place to execute your plans and fulfill your goals?

Leadership training workshops produce the next generation of top performers

Companies that use the Predictive Index® (PI) to best advantage are companies that actively encourage employees to take responsibility for their own success. One way to do this is through the Predictive Leadership Series, a comprehensive program of leadership development workshops customized by your PI consultant to focus on your company's specific leadership training needs. These workshops address such critical issues as personal development strategies, people-smart communication skills, and dealing effectively with conflict at work.

The process enables your organization's future leaders to see and understand their own behavioral styles -- and how those behaviors affect key relationships. This begins a productive dialogue during which employees learn to take a personal inventory, determine what leadership skills they need to be most effective, and develop strategies for continuing success. Every participant leaves with a detailed personal action plan, and the leadership training tools required to accomplish both their goals and the company's.

Leadership training workshops work

The 1970's and 1980's brought tremendous growth to Johnsonville Sausage, under Ralph C. Stayer, president, and his sister Launa. However, they realized everyone was relying on them to make the decisions all the time, and that this created an obstacle to continued growth. They needed to get other people in the management group to share responsibility during the company's rapid expansion.

Johnsonville turned to the PI-based Leading vs. Managing workshop as the vehicle to provide the additional insight they sought. According to Don McAdams, Johnsonville's Director of Member Development and Training: "The workshop reinforced that everyone has traits that allow them to lead." Today, PI has become an critical part of Johnsonville's "Learn to Lead" program, a nine month leadership training program for first line managers, coaches and project leaders.

By training people to identify and understand their own management and leadership styles, PI provides a roadmap for enhanced teamwork, professional growth, and organizational success.
