Great Managers = Great Organizations

Just about anyone can get results for a quarter or two. But it takes an exceptional
leader to unleash the potential of the team and "write a new story" of success. The 7
Habits for Small Business Managers is a unique, new approach to management
development that helps you and your team move from getting good results to getting
great and enduring results.

The workshop gives new and experienced managers a set of tools that will help them
meet all of today's management challenges, including:

- The importance of responsibility, accountability, and commitment
- Skills for building real trust among coworkers
- How to become a resourceful, effective manager who quickly accomplishes goals

Participants will learn how to:

- Increase resourcefulness and initiative
- Define the contribution they want to make in their role as managers
- Manage performance through a balance of accountability and trust
- Give constructive feedback
- Improve team decision-making skills by embracing and encouraging diverse views
