"Well, Duh!" Teaching Millennials How to Problem Solve  Recording
Many Millennials struggle with everyday problem solving:

  • The retail clerk who always asks a manager rather than checking stock herself.
  • The customer service rep who repeats stock answers that don’t address the customer’s situation.
  • The auditor who texts his boss with every  issue, rather than preparing a reasoned explanation for exceptions and taking responsibility.
  • The plumber’s assistant who has to be asked for specific tools rather than anticipating his boss’s needs.
  • The bank teller who takes every customer question to a manager for a decision.
  • The graphic artist who limits her creativity to the available templates.
  • The grocery stocker who struggles to resolve simple differences between what’s on the pallets and what goes on the shelves.

These are all real examples gleaned from our work with managers. If you’ve seen these behaviors in your workplace, then this webinar is for you! Here’s what we’ll cover:

  • The problem solving brain – A short course on how you could be thwarting Millennial problem solving skills because of your supervision style.
  • The 5 step process to integrating effective problem solving practices into everyday supervision.
  • The secrets to scaffolding – Why this principle is critical to the problem-solving process and how to ensure that it’s happening in your workplace.
  • The one fail-safe strategy for hiring good problem solvers.
  • The three essential steps for encouraging good habits of mind and why this is so absolutely critical to fostering a problem solving workplace.

  • Access to the live webinar – 60 minutes worth of meaningful learning and ideas you can put to work within minutes of leaving the session.

The Sandwich Manager: Simple Solutions for Managing Those 17 to 70 — Recording.
It’s the fastest growing category of managers in today’s workplace . . . the sandwich manager. If you supervise older and younger people at the same time you qualify. Sandwich managing adds a new layer of complexity, and heartburn, to most management jobs. How do you deal with the entrenched, but antiquated, practices of veteran contributors? How do you balance the fine line between impatient newcomers and those not ready to be pushed out? How can you negotiate between the enthusiastic desires of those in their twenties and the careful deliberation of veteran workers? That is what this session is all about.
 
Attend this webinar and discover what successful managers are doing to manage between the generations and remain productive at the same time. Filled with practical examples from those in the field, you’ll walk away with the tactics you need to navigate between those from seventeen to seventy. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:
  • Set clear expectations for all ages without fostering resentment.
  • Capitalize on young professionals’ obsession with technology and engage them at the same time.
  • Gain the respect of veteran skeptics who resent being supervised by someone a generation younger.
  • Resolve the inevitable cross-generational conflicts that arise in any workplace.
  • Use a simple three-step process to promote on-going mentoring and coaching between workforce veterans and emerging workers.

Fostering Everyday Knowledge Transfer — Recording.  
 

How well does your organization deal with the loss of knowledge when key employees leave? Whether through retirement or attrition, your company can lose essential expertise with the departure of just one veteran contributor. In spite of the recession, most Baby Boomers will leave the workforce in the coming decade. Now is the time to capture the wisdom and experience they have accumulated over the past forty years. On top of this, surveys indicate that as many as 75% of those currently employed will start looking as the economy improves. The loss of this knowledge can devastate your organization.

Listen to this webinar and you can launch an effective knowledge transfer effort that very same day! This session will provide you with a step-by-step plan for establishing a positive, knowledge sharing environment. You will learn how to get veteran specialists to divulge what they know. You will discover how to get digitally-driven young hires to embrace the idea of learning from seasoned colleagues. Leave this session with the tools to establish reliable knowledge sharing practices. In this webinar, you’ll learn how to:

  • Build an instant appreciation within your team for the skills and experience of other generations.
  • Get people who are too busy, too tired and too distracted to actively participate in knowledge sharing.
  • Nurture veteran technophobes to share knowledge on a digital platform.
  • Get today’s digital natives to embrace the practice of learning from their veteran colleagues.
  • Develop and implement a simple, three step plan for championing knowledge transfer as a part of everyday productivity.
  • Develop and implement a simple wiki to collect and organize the knowledge being shared.
