The aim To enable people to organize and chair meetings that are more effective and more motivating for those who attend.About the program Meetings, bloody meetings is the best-selling video that defines the five disciplines that transform a gathering into a professionally run business meeting. In a nightmarish court, a cynical manager is found guilty of failing to prepare himself and inform others of what a meeting was about (even omitting to invite all the relevant people); failure to plan the agenda; failure to control the discussion and failure to record the decisions. The judge demonstrates how the rules for running a meeting parallel those of a court and the chaos that would result if he ran his court in the same way. The nightmare is so vivid that the guilty-as-charged manager resolves to apply the rules - as will your organization's staff when they view this very humorous, sharply observed parable.The benefits -Suitable for all staff who might be expected to organize and run meetings -Key learning points are dealt with in clearly-defined segments that can be reviewed and discussed -The combination of a realistic business meeting and nightmare court makes it easy to understand the problems and the solutions -Humorous content engages people's attention and aids learningRelated training issues: Project management Leadership and motivation TeamworkInformation: A Video Arts production featuring John Cleese, Robert Hardy and Jeremy Childs.

Generation conflict costs billions of dollars in lost productivity to organizations like yours worldwide - not to mention the incalculable effects on motivation and morale. Now there's help with generational expert Cam Marston's new DVD course, Mixing Four Generations in the Workplace. This program will educate and stimulate positive interaction among your people. It will also dramatically reduce workplace conflict and provide managers and supervisors with strategies for dealing with recruiting, retaining, and motivating, using the generational differences in a positive way. Key Learning Points: Generational context is not about age, but common experiences. Acknowledge your team's expectations, not just your own. Different is neither right nor wrong, just different. Age-ism is the death of any coaching strategy. Generational understanding does not take the place of concern for the individual. Different generations care about different approaches to the same problem. Technology is not universal - assess your team members' affinity level before making communication assumptions.

For the first time in history, there are four generations in the workplace at the same time. Each of these age groups has different expectations and different demands, and employers who cannot recognize these will lose their best employees and see their workplaces in turmoil. In this scenario-based sequel to the best-seller Mixing Four Generations in the Workplace, Cam Marston helps supervisors and managers learn the techniques needed to handle cross-generational communications problems, avoid conflict, and maximize performance. This program will teach you how to "Gen-Flex" or move into another generation's comfort zone. Do you remember the golden rule, "Do unto others as you would have them do unto you?" The golden rule would be great if we were all the same generation. But because people are different they need to be treated differently. This is the basis for what we call Gen-Flexing, operating in another generation's world. Treat them as they want to be treated. Gen-Flex out your comfort zone into theirs. Learning Objectives By the end of this program, participants will be able to: Describe the characteristics, attitudes, and values of each generation Identify specific actions a manager can take to coach, motivate, and get results from each generation Determine how your management approach may need to change when coaching, managing and retaining employees of different generations Discover ways to Gen-Flex™ in order to solve generational problems in the workplace
