"Insights on Lean Management Principles’
with Masaaki Imai

Collaborative Leadership: Hardwiring Teamwork & Innovation
Facilitators: Drs Peter & Susan Glaser
In conjunction with HRINZ 

Most organisations understand that in order to move from good to great, everyone must join together, working as a team to deliver seamless products and service.  This means creating a culture where people offer suggestions and input about their work, bridge silos, develop innovative solutions and evolve the next generation of leaders.
 
This can be accomplished, with shorter meetings and less talking, but only when key leaders learn tangible skills for building consensus and solving problems.  For the last 30 years Drs. Susan and Peter Glaser have been providing organizations with the primary ingredients that fuel successful dialogue, thoughtful engagement, and creative problem solving.
 
This program has evolved from their own published research, and they believe they have uncovered the key ingredients which make meetings great and allow individuals with very different opinions to achieve consensus from disagreement.

"How Managers Stay on the Leadership Ladder"
Guest Speaker: Gail Reichert.

There are leaders at all levels in organisations – frontline through to executive levels. That’s not rocket science. But would you be interested to know how the skills of leadership change as you step up the ladder?

Certainly there are some elements in common at all levels, but it’s not a natural progression. Even if a front line manager has superb leadership skills, it doesn’t naturally flow that they will be successful stepping up through the next levels of Management. Many leaders stumble and slip off the ladder because they are unaware of the changing skills required from one level to the next. Many organisations lose good people, both leaders and followers, because of the failure of leaders to transition well.
