Business structures are rapidly evolving to reflect external pressures transforming global trade and commerce. At the same time, demographic and cultural diversity have produced a promising heterogeneous workforce capable of thriving and excelling within the context of ambiguity and demand for increased productivity. Managers occupy the critical role in linking corporate realities with employee engagement. Outdated management styles must be abandoned in favour of those that promote knowledge acquisition and sustainable learning communities that draw strength from shared values and team success. Innovation, critical thinking and personal commitment position managers to understand and resolve conflicting expectations while nurturing universal core principles. Success will depend upon recognizing the changes in personal behaviour that are required to take advantage of radical shifts in business traditions and practices.

Dr. McLarney, a strong advocate for creating value added employees, uses open dialogue to facilitate active learning. This course will challenge, motivate and encourage participants to explore new possibilities that have practical applications for their workplaces. Participants will gain the knowledge and expertise to inspire their employees to produce extraordinary results by out-performing their assets.

This highly interactive course will enable participants to:

• Recognize the changes in personal conduct required to exploit radical shifts in business traditions and practices brought about by technology, demographics, and cultural diversity.
• Facilitate knowledge acquisition and transfer within a context of shrinking resources and rapidly evolving advances in product, protocol and priorities.
• Leverage emerging social networks to establish core values based on worthwhile enterprise that reflects business purpose and strategy.
• Establish mentorship programs that foster team connection, employee engagement and personal accountability.
• Build a sustainable learning community that draws strength from shared values and team success.
• Institute a transparent communication structure that supports corporate courage required to sustain competitive advantage.
• Inspire employees to produce extraordinary results by helping them to out-perform their assets.
