Training Courses and Consulting Services
Blue Collar University offers a management training program for new, prospective, and yes, used managers and supervisors.
Management related workshop programs for individuals and teams:
- Setting goals and objectives
- Communications
- Working with peers
- Presenting information
This work can be done either in workshops train people together or one-to- one as needed.
- Goals alone are often useless because the process of achieving them hasn’t been thought through. I work with managers and executives to create goals on steroids using a simple but powerful One Page Plan®
- Most people hire and promote based on the people they ‘like’. Most often this does not work as the new hire is not suited for the job. Change the way you look at this – let the job talk first, then look for the people that are best fit. I help you think through what a job requires so that you can get much closer to hiring the person you need.
In most cases it is best to work with not just the manager, but to some degree have access to all of the individuals that might interact with the manager, especially their boss and peers. Why? Because while getting them used to being a manager, it’s also critical at this stage for them to understand:
- Interactions with key individuals
- Learn the corporate mission.
- Understand their bosses philosophy.
Why do people hire me? I come from a blue collar background and worked my way up through the pain. I understand the issues related to being a blue collar manager, especially an untrained manager.
I work with:
- Business owners
- Executives
- Managers and Supervisors
- The manager of managers
- Individuals
If you want help as a manager or to support a manager or supervisor, we should talk. Call me at 925.757.7473 or email me here. Won’t cost you anything but your phone fees to talk for a few minutes and see what can be done to help your situation.
