The Mandt System Leadership Programs
Supporting Successful Leadership Rethinking Management Mandt Leadership Programs are about shaping leaders today bringing together participants from a wide variety of sectors and providing a learning environment that will inspire them, and help them develop their skills, knowledge and understanding of themselves, their workplace, and role within their community. Customer service and staff retention is directly related to management style and organizational culture. This training will include assessment tools to monitor a baseline for company/ organizational culture through enhancing healthy workplace relationships. Leaders, managers, and supervisors are in critical organizational roles. Recent research indicates people often join companies highly motivated and with lofty goals only to become disheartened and leave because managers and supervisors fail to engage and support their people and teams. The Wilson Learning Research study results indicated between 56 and 83 percent of employee satisfaction is predicated upon the manager s skills and style. It s sound business practice to invest in and train managers and supervisors since their interactions with staff significantly influence employee commitment and retention rates (Donaldson, 2008). Since 1975 we have partnered with organizations worldwide to create healthy relationships Utilizing a researchbased, continuous learning and development approach Unrivalled global experts in preventing workplace and relational violence
Mandt Supporting Successful Leadership Programs are designed for company personnel working in leadership, managerial and supervisory positions. The intensive, variable-length programs assist organizations in training executives, directors, supervisory and managerial personnel by enhancing communication and relationship skills of these key leaders as they support the mission of, and people in, their organization. The Mandt System approach centers on the tenet of treating all people with unconditional dignity and respect. What sounds like a common-sense approach in working with people, (clients, customers, staff, patients), does not mean it is one that is often practiced. Cultivating respect in the workplace begins with leaders. Supporting Successful Leadership is a two or three-day training that can be customized to meet your organizations particular needs.

Customer response... What participants say... Best training I have attended in my last 10 years of management. Instructor was a joy -- very informative and engaging. This entire course should be part of required training for all instructors and managers. Very timely training for me personally. I have made some valuable insights that will help me to reflect and make changes in my actions and interactions. Love the focus on building Healthy Relationships. Excellent presenter! Group participation was very good. Helpful everyday insight was very good! Great course lots of useful information. I can see the benefits and how they can be applied. This will be an ongoing project and will need follow-up for refresher. Instructor is very well versed in all aspects of MANDT. This is an excellent course and well worth the time and resources! Wonderful presentation has made me rethink some of my future goals. DASC just completed a 3 day MANDT for Managers with Dr. Karen Heller. We had participants from 6 different agencies although all serve persons with an intellectual disability. Attendees were managers, supervisors and some instructors that are aspiring supervisors and identified through our Succession Plan. All of our staff were energized, educated and motivated with the experience provided by the excellent content and wonderful facilitator Dr. Karen Heller. I would recommend this training to all service providers and am working on trying to provide this again in our sector. The return on investment for our agency and our staff team has far exceeded our expectations! Cathy Deagle-Grammon, ED DASC, Dartmouth, NS This management training gave me a fresh look at my role and how to more effectively build a healthy positive team in our agency. These 3 days has helped me rethink staff supervision and motivation. This will help us change the culture in our organization. Thanks. Everyone here has been able to take back to their workplace tools for implementation. We look forward to bringing more of our team next time. Very motivational speaker. Engaged the audience and provided many useful handouts. Thank you for organizing this. The three people that attended from our agency really enjoyed the training and were raving about it upon their return to work. They feel that it will help them immensely in their management/supervisor roles within the agency, so thank you very much for that.
