Training Solutions ยป Strategic Manager SeriesTM
The Strategic Manager Series™ reflects the new paradigms of 21st century organizations. Management has become a profession in itself, requiring multi-disciplinary skills to meet the challenges of the new economy. This series provides professional managers with a suite of skill-building workshops designed to develop the competencies necessary to achieve peak performance in today’s business environment. These competencies come from a cross-section of disciplines including Organization Development, Industrial Psychology, Systems Thinking and Quantum Physics.
 
Strategic Business Unit Planning:
Strategic Managers act with precision in all areas that will drive profitability and growth, using the competencies of strategic thinking, critical thinking and planning. They focus their business unit and individual contributors on the most important objectives and plans of the organization, gain commitment from each staff member and find the most effective means of achieving those goals.
Design: ½ day or one-day format
 
Strategic Communications:
Strategic Managers build immediate rapport with every person with whom they come in contact, communicate their message clearly, influence behaviors, build and foster collaboration. They also reduce conflict and stress, and energize and mobilize people towards achieving goals.
Design: ½ day or one-day format
 
Strategic Delegation:
Strategic Managers know how to delegate; to entrust direct reports with the right tasks along with the appropriate decision making power and autonomy while maintaining ultimate responsibility. More than just another skill, it is a continuous and integral part of a strategic manager’s role. True delegation provides multiple benefits to the direct report, team, delegating manager, department and entire company as a whole.
Design: ½ day format
 
Decision Making:
Strategic Managers leverage simple concepts and tools to help make decisions efficiently and prioritize decisions so the most important ones are made, while others less critical are delegated, demoted in priority, or eliminated. They know what type of information is needed for each different kind of decision making situation, gather the right information and use appropriate tools to make decisions effectively.

Strategic Team Building:
Strategic Managers foster morale, trust, cohesiveness, communication, and productivity in independent working teams. Strategic Managers define roles, communicate common vision and team goals, encourage collaboration, and assist in guiding their teams to mutually and collectively achieve success.
Design: ½ day or one-day format
 
Adapting and Leading Change:
Strategic Managers know that a constant in the 21st Century is change. The ability to adapt to that change and lead others through the never ending waves of change separates the manager who will be successful in the new economy from those who will be passed over. Strategic Managers understand that people and organizations cannot develop without change. With a strategic focus, they create and lead others through purposeful change.
