YOU NEED CLEAR LEARNING OBJECTIVES TIED TO KEY BUSINESS DRIVERS.
Borrow our approach: To help managers take personal responsibility for becoming better supervisors, find the courage, and learn new skills for hands-on coaching-style management.

YOU NEED A HIGH IMPACT PROGRAM THAT DOESN'T TAKE TOO MUCH TIME.
Borrow our approach: In two days, we try to change the managers' whole mindset about managing people and equip managers with new techniques that work.

YOU NEED REAL WORLD EXAMPLES AND REAL WORLD TECHNIQUES.
Borrow our approach: Based on ten years of workplace research, we teach techniques learned from real managers. We use real case studies portrayed in video vignettes and then we have participants focus on their actual employees.

YOU NEED A RIGOROUS SCHEDULE WHERE PARTICIPANTS CAN PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE.
Borrow our approach: Here's our schedule.

DAY ONE

10:00am	Overview: Why you must be a better manager. Why it's all up to you.
11:00am	Objections: Why can't you be a better manager? What's getting in your way? Questions, excuses and no more excuses. You must take responsibility.
12:00pm	Lunch
1:00pm	FAST Feedback® coaching skills: Four sets of role-plays over four hours, with debriefing, steadily refining the FAST Feedback competencies.
5:00- 6:00pm	HOT Management™: Use your coaching skills to do more for your direct reports, and require them to do more for you in return. Hold your direct reports accountable for high standards and ambitious daily goals.

DAY TWO

8:00am	FAST & HOT: You cannot do everything for everybody, but you can do more for every person… and require more from them in return. Role-play the conversation, then debrief.
10:10am	FAST & HOT: You have to meet with every person at least once a week to assign concrete goals and deadlines. Role-play the coaching session, then debrief.
11:15am	FAST & HOT: You must call people on performance problems immediately and deal with the problem. Choose someone with a performance problem. Analyze that problem and begin to plan the conversation.
12:15pm	Lunch
1:00pm	FAST & HOT: Role-play the performance improvement conversation, then debrief.
2:00pm	FAST & HOT: If a low performer fails to improve, you must give that person one last chance. That is the deal breaker conversation. Your organization has a process… learn it. Role-play the deal-breaker conversation, then debrief.
3:15pm	FAST & HOT: Cut the red tape, untie your hands, and lead. Know what you cannot do. Know what you can do. Know how to do it. And always consult allies in HR, legal, and management. Study the checklist, discuss.
3:30pm	Maintain the intensity: Build your brand, and create a buzz. Provide a pressure release for individuals who are burned out. Regularly clear the air on your team. And make sure to integrate new team members aggressively until they are up to speed and on board.
4:30pm	Participants make personal commitments and agree to check in.
