"You cannot come out of this program without developing yourself in some way and becoming a better asset to your team. Catalyst not only teaches you leadership skills, it also improves your general behavior in the workplace."
"Catalyst is raising the management knowledge of our entire leadership team. In some cases we’re getting new information, in others we’re reinforcing things we’ve heard before. The best thing is we’re building a shared common view of the principles by which we want to lead our team."
"I had the opportunity to participate in the very first Catalyst session and the experience was fabulous. Not only did we learn a lot from the material, but we got to use what we learned to really help our organization transition into the organization that we wanted it to be.”
"What I love most about Catalyst is the fact that you can complete a course in 3 to 4 hours if you choose, or you can expand on the topic by reading the additional reference information.”
M 1 – The difference between a manager and a leader
What is the difference between a manager and a leader? How do the roles of a manager and a leader overlap? This module answers these questions and will help you aquire a leadership mindset.
M 2 – Understanding who I am as a person, a leader and a manager
Research shows a positive correlation between the results of an organization and the emotional behavior of its managers and leaders. Learn more about your own personality traits and emotions and how they impact your organization and what you can do to improve and strengthen those attributes that transform you into a more effective manager and leader.
M 3 – Focusing on the human dimension
The most valuable resource an organization has is its people. If you understand the basic needs, values and strengths of your people, your employees are more passionate about their work, more motivated and inspired to do their best. The results of their work will lead your organization to more success!
M 4 – Performance Management
An organization and its people can mutually benefit from a shared understanding of the linkage between the organization’s vision and goals and what motivates and drives employees to excel. Learn how to measure the correct indicators of true progress and how to give feedback that strengthens and improves performance rather than stifle it.
M 5 – Teams and Teamwork
Successful teams provide a competitive advantage, an edge that most organizations hope to achieve but many never accomplish. Such teams rely on more than just group discussion, sharing of information, debate and best-practice performance standards. You will learn how team members become mutually accountable as they strive toward common goals and, together, achieve objectives beyond what each person could achieve alone.
M 6 – Managerial Decision Making
Leaders are responsible for making critical decisions that often have significant implications for people, operations and business results. If too little or no time is spent assessing and learning from bad decisions, mistakes are needlessly repeated. Module 6 focuses on how to identify the factors that lead you to make incorrect conclusions, the impact of your own biases and how to evaluate the risks and minimize their negative effects on decision making.
M 7 – Becoming the change agent your organization needs
Providing a vision of the future and a direction for getting there is one of the most important works of leadership. For any new vision to become a reality, change is required. As a leader you will be tasked with helping your people embrace change and transition to a new paradigm smoothly. Module 7 focuses on the stage of organizational change, concerns people have about change and the skills and competencies required of the leaders who implement change. You will learn how to identify factors that must be managed to effectively plan for change and overcome obstacles.
