Manager-as-Project-Leader

Teach managers to shift from the traditional manager-as-supervisor to manager-as-project-leader. This is a shift from time-based management to results and outcome-based management. This requires different levels of communication, levels which are more in line with a project plan.  You also learn to use more communication and planning tools to track how employees are doing with their assigned tasks. 

When moving to a manager-as-project-leader model, you incorporate the human piece into your plan design. You learn to incorporate the dynamics of the team including mitigating the already formed unproductive habits and behaviors that exist in the organization.

Plan for Humans

Teach others to incorporate the human piece into their project plan design that includes how to manage change. Your plan will incorporate the human and behavior dynamics of the team that takes into account their already formed habits and behaviors in the organization. TIGERS brings the human aspect into project management.

Be Agile

For teams needing to adapt to rapid change so they can pivot on a dime. There could be a sudden change in budget, a new audience, change in direction or sudden change in workplace. This AGILE activity-based-training helps your team develop the behaviors needed to be flexible and have buy-in so you can realign in a sensible and successful way.     

Improve Team Communication

Helps project teams that have a breakdown in communication. Within the project there is a communication piece so that people are kept in the loop. How do you influence the workforce behavior pattern? Do you have the language to engage others and measure if your change initiative has no traction? This workshop will address this. 

Prepare for Change

Teach leaders to identify when your team does not have the capacity to change and what to do about it. Does your team have the high performance  behaviors to be interdependent? Are you still stuck with silo’s with groups competing? Will your improvements be viewed as trustworthy or suspicious? You will identify what prework your team may need before employees form an effective AGILE team.

You will learn to facilitate this activity-based workshop appropriate for leaders of remote teams, agile teams or teams that require an actionable timeline from vision to implementation.
