Do your employees avoid taking responsibility?  Do they seem to spend more time fixing blame and finger pointing than solving problems?  Do they think for themselves?

This full day workshop will show you how to identify the common roadblocks to people taking the initiative and identify strategies to eliminate them, thus creating a workplace that brings out the best in people.

Participants will learn:
•         Identify ways to get employees to think for themselves and act on their own

•        Define the difference between extrinsic and intrinsic motivation

•        Know how to make it clear when people should act alone and when to seek supervision

•        Define the critical difference between authority and responsibility

•        Know techniques for hiring ‘self-starters’

•        Understand the six systems that support and build initiative and responsibility

•        Define techniques for building individual and team accountability
