High Performance Management: Creating a Positive Operations Management Environment for Optimum Productivity

Managers and supervisors are the instruments through which performance and productivity happen in any organization. An organization’s human resources are the engine driving quality, efficient accomplishment of work tasks, and effectively interacting with people served, and with co-workers. Managers’ and supervisors have a direct impact on how productively their work unit operates. An agency’s human assets directly impact the success and quality of services delivered to their communities.

Managing or supervising require unique sets of knowledge, skills and competencies. NAHRO’s High Performance Management seminar provides not only key knowledge, but the opportunity for participants to experiment and to experience critical tools and techniques that can assist them to more effectively manage and supervise their people.

As with any skill, reading a book or hearing a lecture does not result in a person’s ability to effectively improve that skill. High Performance Management is cutting edge, employing contemporary, validated knowledge. It is a participant-centered interactive course. It engages participants in self-assessing their key competencies and management styles. It provides the opportunity to use exercises, case studies, assessments, simulations and other reinforcement that help to anchor the learning. (1.95 CEUs)

The High Performance Management course’s key elements include:

• Roles and Responsibilities in Management and Supervisory Positions
• Identifying Critical Competencies
• Individual Communication and Management Self-Assessment
• Understanding Others – Similarities and Differences
• Communication Techniques to Obtain Results
• The Power of Listening for Understanding
• Conflict Management
• Elements of Productive, Motivating Work Environments
• Effective Hiring, Training, Coaching and Disciplining Techniques

• Goal Setting, Decision-Making
