Conflict Management Training
Because other people don’t share your views, occasional conflict is inevitable.
How you handle conflict is an all-important question.

You need to know how to do the following
 • Use reason and logic to resolve conflict; not anger or upset
 • Know when to compromise and when not to

Proper conflict management requires that you:-
1. Always protect their “self-concept”
2. Tell them precisely what is wrong in non-emotional terms
3. Give them a way out of the conflict situation
4. Be objective and specific, not emotional and inflammatory
5. Distinguish between reasons and excuses and have a different policy for each
6. Know when to negotiate and when not to

Time management training
What is the best use of your time right now?

Use the two principles of “deadline pressure” and “value” as key indicators.

1. Q1 Crisis zone
2. Q2 Productive zone
3. Q3 Busy zone
4. Q4 Fruitless zone

Distinguish between being “Busy” and being “Productive”

Prioritisation
Manage your priorities by means of a decision matrix.
Answer the question: What is the most valuable use of my time right now?

Manage interruptions by means of the 80/20 principle
1. The Pareto time management principle states that 80% of the value comes from 20% of the causes
2. 80% of the value of the interruption will be in 20% or less of what they say
3. Manage the interruption using the “Pareto question”

Leadership training - developing a positive mental attitude

Positive mental attitude training and how it affects tangible results
Leadership and management requires that you are able to direct the focus of your mind so that you create the optimum emotional responses appropriate to the circumstance that face you.

Emotional management requires that you
 • Don’t succumb to undue pessimism and fear
 • Don’t overdose on fretting over things that have already happened
 • Fix your mind on the moment and on your goals and – mentally- look forwards

The self-fulfilling prophecy
How your inner thoughts affect your outer circumstances

How to create and sustain a positive mental attitude
1. Control the content of your mind
2. Control the content of your conversation
3. Control the content of their conversation

How to create more energy
Energy is defined as the capacity to do work
Some people don’t have sufficient energy to properly do their work.
How to generate more energy.

The EDISON success formula
All successful action can be described by the following five words:
1. Purpose
2. Plan
3. Action
4. Feedback
5. Change

1. The Purpose: is the goal
2. The Plan: is what you are going to do about the goal
3. The Action: is the implementation of the plan
4. The Feedback: is the results of the actions you take
5. The Change: is the adjustment in the plans and actions, based on the feedback results you are getting

In order to inspire others, get them hooked on the above five part success formula.
1. Know your outcome
2. Formulate your best plan in writing
3. Take decisive action
4. Gather and evaluate the feedback. Both positive and negative
5. Make progress by continually adapting and evolving

Recognise that the success formula is a continuous process

Failure formula
1. Indecision or unclear targets
2. No written plan - wing it
3. Procrastination – put it off
4. Become disheartened in the face of set-backs and disappointments
5. Stand still. Do the same thing this year as you did last year

2. Then, the delegates practice by doing an exercise with each other.
3. The delegates practice by doing exercise with the trainer.
4. All points are supported with full written notes to take away.

6. (At the end of the day, we have about twenty such actions, from which the delegates choose six which are the most personally meaningful).

Note: we do not believe in placing people in any situation of embarrassment by demanding that they 'perform' in front of the whole group. So you can relax: come on this course and be at ease; ready to learn new skills!
