BUILDING THE BEST: A SENIOR FIELD MANAGERDEVELOPMENT PROCESS, WORKSHOP I SR398 This workshop is the first in a series that provides a systematic and individual assessment of a manager's skill strengths and areas for improvement in the following key competency areas: Sales Leadership, Strategic Ability, Executive Skills, Results- Oriented Focus, and People Management. Workshop I provides the platform for implementation of the Individual Development Process (IDP) and gives the Senior Field Manager the opportunity to build skills in the identified competency areas through feedback, one-on-one coaching, instruction, and experimentation with new management/leadership behaviors via role playing. STUDENT PROFILE: All CSO/Americas Area Sales Managers (ASMs), Major Account Managers (MAMs), Global Account Managers (GAMs), Senior PSO Managers, Senior PSO Sales Managers PREREQUISITES: Prestudy sent upon registration. STUDENT PERFORMANCE OBJECTIVES: Upon completion of the workshop, the manager will have a clear understanding of their performance in the above key competencies from several points of view o their own perception o their manager's perception o their subordinate's perception o their peer's perception (others who work regularly with him/her) o an independent assessor's perception via observation throughout the workshop The manager will then take this feedback to his/her manager and work together on an overall individual development plan to address the identified key development areas. COURSE OUTLINE: All simulations within this workshop not only model the CSO/Americas Sales Organization of today, but model the sales organization of the future. All participants will perform each simulation individually and will be observed by an independent assessor who will give individual feedback and coaching on skill strengths and areas of development. Each simulation section will allow the manager to participate in a simulation scenario, receive feedback on observed skill behavior in that simulation, receive instruction, and then have the opportunity to use the feedback and instruction to practice and experiment with those skills in another similar simulation scenario. The workshop is divided into the following sections: Intro: Opening Statements Section 1 Individual Survey Feedback Section 2 Performance Mgmt Simulation - Simulation I - Instruction - Individual Feedback & Coaching - Simulation II Section 3 In Basket/Team Mtg Simulation - Simulation I - Instruction - Individual Feedback & Coaching - Simulation II Section 4 Customer Contact Simulation - Simulation I - Instruction - Individual Feedback & Coaching - Simulation II Section 5 Individual Summary Feedback Section 6 Individual Development Planning Section 7 Evaluation & Closing TESTING PROCESS: Survey and feedback to be used as a basis for individual development plan.
