PMETH

 P M E T H   W O R K S H O P S

The PMETH Workshops are designed for professionals in leadership positions.  That is, professionals with decision-making authority and/or direct-reports.  If you guide, oversee, manage, direct, delegate work to or evaluate at least on person and/or you make pivotal decisions in your organization that affect others in any way, you are in a leadership position and therefore, it is your responsibility to learn to lead effectively.

All of the PMETH Workshops highlight critical areas of development that even the savviest of business leaders will find useful.  Prerequisites include: the desire to be better than you are today; the desire help others reach their fullest potential; and, the desire to make a difference and improve things for the better.

Following are the available PMETH Leadership Journey Workshops:

The topics discussed in the PMETH Programs represent the foundation of exemplary and sustainable leadership.  While intelligence, professional experience and technical proficiency will often get you by in the short-run, the application the PMETH Principles will help you to achieve long-term, sustainable success. 

To be sure, leadership is a combination of many things. But the single most important aspect of leadership is working with others and getting their commitment---rather than just compliance---to work effectively toward goals and objectives.  Once you grasp this, the rest will fall into place.

Professionals in a leadership position.  That is, any professional with decision-making authority and/or direct reports.  It is true that there are managers don't lead, and yes, there are even leaders that don't lead.  Both however, should be expected to demonstrate leadership characteristics on a daily basis. 

PMETH Leadership Assessment Package

PMETH Consulting

Your leadership ability—and how your people perceive your leadership ability—largely determines the success or failure of your organization and without a doubt, determines how profitable your organization will be.  Therefore, one of the most critical areas needed to achieve organizational goals is the assessment of how the people in our organization perceive our leadership effectiveness.  Below is a summary of the benefits of the PMETH Leadership Assessment Package.

r      One hour consultation with the members of your organization.  Consultation will include a group discussion regarding upward feedback (what this means and why it is critical).  Additionally, we will discuss that because you value your people, you have made the decision to invest in your leadership development to determine how the management of your organization can better serve them.  During this consultation the selected employees will participate in The PMETH Leadership Challenge Series™.

r      PMETHods Report documenting at least twenty PMETHods™ tailored for your organization to maximize employee morale, productivity and leadership effectiveness.

r      One hour consultation with management to review the results of the PMETH Leadership Challenge Series™ and to go over the PMETHods Report.

r      Follow Up Consultation with the participants to review the results of The PMETH Leadership Challenge Series™ and how (the PMETHods) the management of your organization is committed to developing their leadership ability.

r      Three Month Follow Up Consultation. Another follow up consultation will be conducted three months after the initial consultation to answer any questions that may have arisen regarding the implementation of the PMETHods and assess the effectiveness of the PMETH Services.

W O R K S H O P   C U R R I C U L U M  -  D A Y   O N E

1.  Leadership: Everything Else You Need to Know  Intelligence and professional experience are only half of what you need to reach your fullest potential and leadership ability makes up the other half.  You will learn that growth in this area is not automatic and why you must make a conscious effort to learn to lead. 

2.  Exemplary Leadership Is Not Easy…Which is one of the reasons we have so few great leaders.  In this section you will learn other common leader pitfalls and how to avoid them.    

3.  Integrity and Character  It is true that integrity alone won't make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.  You will learn what it means to have integrity and the effects a lack of integrity can have on your team’s morale and productivity.

4.  Valuing People  People are the principal asset of every company.  Without them, there would be no company.  Connecting with people, getting the right people around you and learning what you have to do to keep them—physically and mentally—is critical to meeting objectives.

5.  Credibility  People buy into the leader first, then the leader’s vision.  If you believe the messenger to be credible, then you believe the message has value.  Learning what it means to be credible is critical if we want to be better than the competition.

6.  Change and Continuous Improvement  Why do we get new computers, other tangible assets and improve our products but keep the same policies and procedures in place for a decade?  This course will highlight why we must look for ways to improve our internal (people) processes as well as our products.

W O R K S H O P   C U R R I C U L U M  -  D A Y   T W O

1.  Success at Work  What does it mean to be successful?  Are you successful if you have a fancy title?  Are you successful if you have a corner office?  Are you successful if you make lots of money?  Not quite.  In this class, you will learn what admirable success really looks like.

2.  The Golden Rule  No matter how complicated people try to make it, there is only ONE rule that you have to live by to enjoy a long, prosperous life, and it is the Golden Rule.  Learn why treating others the way you want to be treated will help you reach your goals.

3.  Managers vs. Leaders  Managers make sure the work gets done, which is critical.  But leaders care about people, they care about doing the right thing and they inspire others to care.  Which one are you?  Find out why caring is critical to achieving and sustaining long-term success.  

4.  Trust, Vulnerability and Confidence  Trust is an important component in any relationship.  To establish trust we have to be confident in our abilities and also show that we are human, fallible.  How can we engender trust, while exuding confidence and vulnerability—at the same time?  It’s time to find out. 

5.  Speak Up!!  In business and in life we are told “not to rock the boat”.  Well that is horrible advice!  In this class you will learn why it is imperative to rock the boat and ask the tough questions.

6.  Accountability for Results and Behaviors  Do you know someone who was fired for poor performance and was completely shocked when they got the ax?  If so, someone wasn’t doing their job.  Learn why holding each other accountable and giving continuous constructive feedback is crucial to achieving and maintaining high performance.

NOTE: This workshop is also available in 4-hour and 2-hour formats.

How a business functions is directly related to the leadership ability of the people running the company.  This seems like an obvious statement but if it is so evident, why do so few companies invest in leadership development training for their people?  Why do we invest so few resources in the largest, most valuable asset we have? 

Studies show:

In this class you will learn PMETH Principles™ and PMETHods™ that you can begin applying immediately that will help to ensure that you are getting the most out of your people; ensure that people are doing more than what is merely expected.

1.  Leadership Is a Skill  You can have thirty years of “leadership experience” and still not be an effective leader.  Exemplary leadership ability is not an inherent by-product of professional experience.  In this class you will learn that to be effective, we need to make a conscious effort to learn to lead.

2.  Valuing People  People are the principal asset of every company.  Without them, there would be no company.  Learning what you have to do to keep them—physically and mentally—is critical to meeting professional objectives.

3.  Speaking Up  In business, and in life we are told “not to rock the boat”.  Well that is horrible advice!  In this class you will learn why it is imperative to rock the boat and ask the tough questions.

4.  Accountability and Continuous Feedback  Do you know someone who was fired for poor performance and was completely shocked when they got the ax?  If so, someone wasn’t doing their job.  Learn why holding each other accountable and giving continuous constructive feedback is crucial to achieving and maintaining high performance.

5.  Why You Should Learn to Lead  Some people believe that certain people are meant to be leaders while others are meant to be followers, and think that the “meant to be followers” don’t have to learn to lead.  But, if you have direct reports and/or decision-making authority, you’ve already assumed a leadership position and it is your responsibility to learn to lead and demonstrate leadership characteristics on a daily basis.

Success, Integrity and Four C’s of Leadership

Four-Hour Workshop

O V E R V I E W

Integrity is the foundation of leadership.  Leaders must have a set of principles to live by and we have to display and communicate these values—what we stand for—every chance we get.  Do your people know what you and your organization stand for?  Do you know what you and your organization stand for?  This class will answer the following questions and many other important leadership questions regarding your organization.

W O R K S H O P  C U R R I C U L U M

1.  Integrity  It is true that integrity alone won't make you a leader, but without integrity you will never be one.  In this class, you will learn what it means to have integrity and the effects a lack of integrity can have on your team’s productivity.

2.  Success at Work  What does it mean to be successful?  Are you successful if you have a fancy title?  Are you successful if you have a corner office?  Are you successful if you make lots of money?  Not quite.  In this class, you will learn what admirable success really looks like.

3.  Change and Continuous Improvement  Why do we get new computers, other tangible assets and improve our products but keep the same policies and procedures in place for a decade?  This course will highlight why we must look for ways to improve our internal (people) processes as well as our products. 

4.  Confidence  Each of us adds value to the organization in our own unique way.  That is, we all have complimentary skills and yet, admitting our shortcomings is somehow seen as a weakness.  In this class you will learn how to exude confidence while supporting and encouraging others.   

5.  Caring  Our job as leaders is to inspire others to care—to care about people, to care about doing a great job, to care about exceeding expectations, to care about doing the right thing even when it is going to cost more than you want to pay—but first we must care! 

6.  Credibility  People buy into the leader first, then the leader’s vision because every message people receive is filtered through the messenger who delivers it.  If you believe the messenger to be credible, then you believe the message has value.  Learning what it means to be credible is critical if we want to be better than the competition.

“Our customers come first” —this is a nice motto, in theory!  However, who is it that interacts directly with the customer?  Who determines if the customer has a pleasant experience or a poor experience?  Who likely determines if that customer is going to come back? 

Two words—your people.  A person's degree of satisfaction with their work situation is entirely and directly related to the quality and quantity of their output.  Therefore, you darn well better make sure your PEOPLE are happy—FIRST!  The customer should be second in your list of priorities because if your people aren’t happy, they are not going to do everything in their power to ensure that the customer is happy.
