What is this course about?
Employees are expected to be proficient at managing their work relationships effectively – whether with their managers, peers, staff, customers or clients. However, with increasing workplace demands to be more efficient, more cost-effective, more environmentally conscious, and more customer-focused employees can find that this creates conflict with others’ needs and may result in deteriorating relationships.
This course offers the delegate the opportunity to learn their personal strengths when dealing with other people when everything is going well and to discover how they change when things are going wrong and conflicting needs occurs.
Using their understanding from the Strengths Deployment Inventory® delegates will be able to improve relationships and co-operation by developing and managing their personal strengths and fine-tuning their behaviour. This long established inventory is colour coded which makes it memorable and therefore much easier to transfer course learning.
