Using the casting and rehearsal of a production of Shakespeare’s most famous play as a backdrop, this 2-program series provides an entertaining overview of the essential skills needed by both new and more experienced managers. A team of experts reinforces the key learning points.

Each program addresses 5 critical subject areas.

What You’ll Learn:

• In Program 1, “Surviving the Slings & Arrows”, we examine:
  • Hiring
  • EEO Compliance
  • Workplace HarassmentTerminations
  • Performance Management
• Program 2, “To Lead or Not to Lead” explores:
  • Effective Communication
  • Coaching
  • Conflict Management
  • Time Management
  • Leadership Skills

Each video program runs 24 minutes. While we recommend people use the full series, each program can stand alone as a complete, separate training resource. The programs come with a comprehensive facilitation package including reproducible handouts. Credit card sized “Gold Cards” are also available for a handy summary of key learning points.

Program Contents:
The programs combine dramatized scenarios that demonstrate the key learning points in each section and expert commentaries that underscore and reinforce the training.

The dramatizations are set against a backdrop of the rehearsal of a production of Shakespeare’s Hamlet. The interactions between the play’s director and actors serve as a dramatic metaphor for the kinds of situations managers are likely to face in their work environments.

The facilitation materials offer several approaches to using the programs. The training can be 2-4 hours or longer depending on the exercises and activities you choose to use. We also offer a self-study track for organizations that prefer that option for their managers or supervisors.
