Presenter: Bryan Edwards, Ph.D.
Confrontations comprise the very foundations of accountability, and when they are handled poorly, they result in failed promises, missed expectations, lack of accountability, and bad behavior. Learn how to effectively manage confrontation and make rapid and substantial improvements in individual, team, and organizational results. This seminar teaches a straightforward step-by-step process for identifying and resolving performance gaps, strengthening accountability, eliminating inconsistency and reducing resentment. Each person knows someone who has violated expectations, broken promises, or performed poorly. Indeed, most organizational failures, team disasters, and family discord are the natural result of chronic problems people have either failed to confront or confronted poorly. Built upon years of managerial research, this seminar in crucial confrontations directly addresses gaps between expectations and performance with a model that ensures individual and team effectiveness. You will learn how to approach confrontations in a different and more encouraging way. You will learn to hold someone accountable face-to-face by making a clear and direct connection between action and consequences. Additionally, you will learn to master performance discussions, motivate without using power and move to action.
