Programs for the Human Service Agency
Do your supervisors do “therapy” rather than “supervision” on their employees? Do your staff “analyze ‘til they’re paralyzed” and leave the meeting without accomplishing anything? Are clients treated as VIPs or individuals who are merely just tolerated? Have budget cuts or restraints hurt your organization’s ability to provide quality service delivery to your clients? The Normative Leadership Program will show you how to get the most out of what you have to work with, by creating a more efficient and effective culture in your work place.
The Normative Leadership Core Program lays a solid foundation for building a normative infrastructure of pride, teamwork, and accountability which will translate into quality service delivery to your clients. As your organization’s culture responds to the changes that are implemented, new strategies can be defined to address the “here and now” issues that need to be addressed.
Normative Leadership Programs for Students
Normative behavior plays a big part in the every day lives of students. Sadly, we hear too often about the negative results associated with it. Bullying, peer pressure and social “drama,” are all a part of the normative dynamics occurring between groups and individuals. Unfortunately, many students do not have the skills that enable them to constructively stand up for themselves when being bullied by others.
The Normative Leadership Program for Students gives them a frame of reference to understand the dynamics of peer pressure, but more importantly, provides solid skills they can employ to minimize the impact of negative peer pressure. Additionally, they will be able to use their newly acquired Normative Leadership skills to become a catalyst for change within themselves and the their peer group.
