Do you know the average person speaks up to 16,000 words each and every day? No doubt, that’s a lot of chatter.

It cuts through the noise to focus on four key areas of leadership communication: Vision, Support Competence, and Relationships. This interactive

confidence to encourage enthusiasm, increase productivity, minimize miscommunication, and improve working relationships.

Being a supervisor can sometimes seem like an endless roller coaster ride. You’re confronted with varied challenges and issues every day, from discipline
problems and personality clashes to conflict and layoffs. Without the proper skills and preparation, you can be left feeling like a rag doll. That’s why you need to arm yourself now—before situations occur—with tools that will help you tackle the unexpected twists and turns of being a good supervisor.
When dealing with issues such as employee performance, personality clashes, and conflict, the truth is there are no quick fixes. Successful supervisors know it takes time to do what’s best for the long-term success of the organization, its employees, and even themselves.

From production and marketing to customer service and fulfillment, organizations are made up of a series of interconnected parts. While each function may appear to operate efficiently on its own, a change in just one cog can throw the whole system out of whack, creating a continuous chain reaction of problems.
If your organization is plagued by nagging issues that affect its performance, it’s time for a new approach. Systems Thinking is a proactive problem-solving technique that examines the relationships between various organizational functions and how they impact each other. What makes Systems Thinking so powerful is that it enables your organization to predict the consequences of change, eliminate silo thinking, adjust perspectives to see different viewpoints, and remain focused on the big picture.
Systems Thinking—How to Solve Problems so They Stay Solved helps get your problem-solving approach in gear to find optimal solutions to complex challenges, improve innovation, and increase productivity.
