LEADERSHIP PROGRAMS –

Elevate Your Leadership

In this two-day course, participants are led through four topics to elevate their leadership within their teams. Participants will cover topics like –

• the disconnect between what managers want, and what employees need and how to bridge that gap to create a cohesive team;
• key qualities of a great supervisor and common supervisory pitfalls;
• how to handle declining performance indicators and which tools are best used to support struggling team members;
• techniques to manage conflicts and the benefits to resolving conflict quickly and thoroughly;
• and, more!

Dates: [TBA] Please contact AGC Maine to request a course at team@agcmaine.org.

NEW CLASS **Conflict Resolution**

Conflict resolution is a key component of success in any work environment. It is a natural by-product of people having different needs, interests, ideas and goals. No matter what your job, you will face conflicts both large and small, and the ability to recognize and deal with conflict is a core skill necessary to thrive. In this program we will cover causes of conflict within an organization, techniques to manage those conflicts and the benefits to resolving conflict quickly and thoroughly.

One Day Class.

Time: 12:00pm- 2:00pm (unless listed otherwise)

Dates: [TBA] Please contact AGC Maine to request a course at team@agcmaine.org.

NEW CLASS **Engaging the Generational Divide**

You may wonder why we discuss different generations in the workplace. Many conflicts arise from two people seeing the same situation through different lenses. Each of the four current generations in our workplace have different general characteristics, communication styles, and needs. Understanding each generation can help any employee better navigate workplace relationships and interactions. In this workshop, we will discuss the generational characteristics as well as how each prefers to work and communicate to bridge the gap between the generational divides.

One Day Class.

Time: 12:00pm- 2:00pm (unless listed otherwise)
