“Telling it like it is” refers to the ability to relay difficult or sensitive information to others without quashing morale. How exactly do you go about announcing a decision you don’t personally agree with? Or yet another major change in your organization? Or a round of layoffs? How do you approach an employee with an attitude problem? This seminar is designed to help you get a better handle on potentially tricky situations like these and deal with them head on rather than indirectly… or not at all. As a result, your employees – and your superiors – will look more favourably on you and your efforts.
