Based on Best-Selling More Than a Gut Feeling IV! Let’s be honest… a lot of hiring gets done based on nothing other than a gut feeling. Assumptions. Intuition. And a lot of employee turnover results because that gut feeling, that assumption, that intuition just wasn’t very accurate. If you’re like most managers, one of your greatest fears is that you’ll hire the wrong person. You want to hire the person who, ultimately, will be the most successful in the job. You know that your operation will function more smoothly and will be more productive if the right person is in the right job.

New Micro-Learning! Based on research by Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman - two of the most preeminent thought-leaders on leadership development - this course focuses on the five tenets that encompass the characters of core strengths that really matter in becoming an extraordinary leader.

New Micro-Learning! To be an extraordinary leader, we cannot be in the mindset of how do I go from bad to good or from good to a little bit better. We need to be in the mindset of how do I get from good to great because it is great leaders that make an overwhelming difference.

New Micro-Learning! Do you find yourself cutting corners when it comes to selecting team members? Meaning... do you find yourself taking the easy way out by just selecting team members who are more like the existing team members or yourself? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you may be losing out on new insights and ideas that could maximize your team performance and organizations bottom line.

New Micro-Learning! Assistance is about making sure we've got what we need to do the job and it is not just a management function. If someone is dependent on you for something, or if you've got some knowledge that's going to help someone get his or her job done - you've got to offer assistance. And, if you need something, you need to ensure you ask for it.

New Micro-Learning! Regardless of your position, title or level in the organization, it is your job—and the job of every employee—to help create a professional workplace by demonstrating appropriate behavior. When it comes to telling jokes, there's a fine line between funny and disrespectful. We can't always know what may be offensive just by looking at someone.

New Micro-Learning! Over the last 30 years or so, we've paid a lot of attention to overcoming the past exclusion of women and minorities in the workplace. But we don't give a lot of thought as to how those changes have affected white men. It's easy to see how the focus on minorities and women has caused many white men to worry about discrimination. And sometimes those concerns were justified by inappropriate actions taken to meet hiring goals.

New Micro-Learning! We all have different experiences and backgrounds, and we may have different views on what is acceptable behavior. But failing to treat people with respect and professionalism, when due to a protected status, can easily lead to charges of discrimination or harassment. This course takes a look at how sabotaging someone’s ability to do his or her job can lead to an adverse employment action.

New Micro-Learning! It’s one thing to casually invite someone to attend religious services with you, or to occasionally mention a religious belief or practice. But when you repeatedly and openly talk about your religious beliefs, or proselytize, to the point that it offends a co-worker, you can be accused of harassment. And when a supervisor is the one talking about religion in the workplace, employees may believe that religion discriminatorily effected employment decisions.

New Micro-Learning! This course explores the topic of gender identity in the workplace. There are a variety of Federal, state and local laws that expressly protect workers based on their gender identity and sexual orientation. Most employers are covered by one or more of these laws.
