The Power of People Workshops

Workshops on optimizing human capital to build leadership capacity

Organizations must effectively utilize their human capital to remain competitive. In a recent poll, CEOs listed three "people strategies" needing attention: the ability to drive change, build leadership capacity, and maintain a positive, productive culture.

Cardinal Stritch University's College of Business and Management has partnered with Stritch's Leadership Center to offer three four-hour workshops on these topics, designed for organizational leaders (supervisor, manager, director, VP), business owners and HR professionals. Participants will gain strategic knowledge in theory and practical, organizational application.

Cost

  • $125/workshop, $300/three workshops
  • Stritch students/alumni: $65/workshop, $180/three workshops

Organizational culture can best be described as the set of values and behaviors that contribute to the unique social environment of an organization. Many talent management processes and decisions directly impact culture and reflect a sense of order of what is "expected" in the organization. This workshop will assist participants in recognizing millennium morale builders, the impact of individual leadership styles on organizational culture, and strategies to create respectful, high-performing organizations.

Topics covered:

  • The "2012" workforce
  • Strong/weak leadership
  • Talent management importance: the cultural fit
