Effective leaders want to create an environment for staff that promotes good teamwork and productivity. They also understand that in order to foster such an environment, attention must be paid to both staff attitudes and their own. In this “deeper dive” follow-up to his hugely popular 2014 U-M Management Conference Keynote, Bill Treasurer reintroduces the concepts of Open-Door Leadership and applies each key concept to concrete issues you face every day.

You will learn to:

Recall what open-door leadership means and why it focuses upon simplicity
Identify the six doors to open in order to be an effective leader
Show how to shift language to inspire worker creativity
Recognize when “otherness” negatively impacts work performance
Explain what Strategic Forgiveness means and when to use it
Discuss when it is/is not appropriate to give employees a second chance
Compose an Open-Door Leader Action Plan

You will benefit by:

Having an opportunity to delve deeply into the key aspects of each door
Being able to more fully include staff members who were once not fully participating
Leaving with a plan to increase the effectiveness of your staff and your own personal effectiveness

Audience:

Any supervisor or manager who would like to create an environment that is inclusive, effective and will foster teamwork

Program Note:

Individuals who did not attend the 2014 U-M Management Conference will also benefit from this session, key points from the keynote will be reviewed prior to covering new material.
