The first module will help you understand the essential responsibilities you have when directing others and the practices you should employ in order to meet those responsibilities. Module two will help you identify those tasks which can be handled by others familiar with your work so you can focus on the more time-consuming and demanding responsibilities on your list. Module three introduces best practices for confronting your direct reports about difficult behavior from employees. Module four describes what diversity is, including its benefits. It also covers how to prepare to manage a diverse team by understanding key diversity issues and setting ground rules. Also, it delineates techniques for managing a diverse team. Materials designed to support blended learning activities aligned with this course are available from the Resources Page.

March Skillsoft Topic of the Month
Success over Stress
Contrary to popular belief, stress itself is never a good thing--it is always harmful. This course will show you the difference between pressure, which spurs you into action and helps you to perform at your peak, and stress, which impedes your performance, and has long-term health implications. You will learn how to recognize stress and categorize it appropriately, learn to distinguish between job stressors, and see the benefits of recognizing stress. You will also learn about relaxing techniques and coping mechanisms to help challenge and reframe negative thinking and handle receiving constructive feedback. This is course number: PD0182

February Skillsoft Topic of the Month
Workplace Conflict
Conflict can have many causes – disagreements about who does what, or about how things are done, as well as disagreements related to personality and style. And inevitably, conflicts will arise in the workplace, so it's critical to be able to deal with them successfully. If you avoid conflict that requires quick, decisive action, or if you take an aggressive approach when you need to gain the commitment of the other person, you may make the situation worse. Unresolved conflict can intensify and hinder your productivity as you spend more time worrying about the conflict than achieving your goals. And remember, the costs of prolonged conflict can be high – negative emotions, blocked communication, and stress. But choosing the appropriate response based on the type of conflict is important. When you address conflict properly, you will experience a number of benefits: it can enhance your creativity and it can strengthen your relationships, for example. These six videos cover confronting employees, understanding the five styles of personal conflict and how to resolve those conflicts. Materials designed to support blended learning activities aligned with this course are available from the Resources Page.
• Confrontation: What’s the Best Approach: pc_bi_mgbi009
• Personal Conflict Styles: pc_bi_pabi002
• Coping with Accusations in the Workplace: pc_ch_lsch003
• Managing Conflict: pc_ch_lach009
• Manager to Manager Conflict: pc_ch_mgch003
• Conflict: Avoid, Confront, or Delay?: pc_ch_pach004
