Tailored Management Composure Plan of Action

Workplace composure is probably the most misunderstood of critical management skills. Composure at work underpins the achievement of organisational success. As employees and cultures develop, they crave composure instead of never ending crisis management. It is often easier to identify if your workplace does not have composure, than if it does. Take the test to see how composed your managers and leaders are. If you score more than 15 points, you don’t work in a composed workplace

  • How many swear words would you hear on a typical day from your managers and leaders in your workplace? (1 point per swear word)
  • How many negative comments would you hear from your managers and leaders? (3 points per comment)
  • How many comments from your managers and leaders in a typical day would be similar to “have to” “need to”, “have no choice”, “our hands are tied”, “there is no alternative” or “must”. (6 points per statement)
  • How many times do your internal/external customers complain to you about your product/services?(9 points per complaint)

A bit of trivia : Which career has the highest life expectancy?

A – Dentist, B – Actuary, C – Farmer, D – Orchestra Conductors

D – Orchestra conductors/composers have the highest life expectancy of any career. If you think about it, they are calm, methodical and composed throughout their lives. The other 3 groups have very high suicide rates.

  • Hidden agendas and building of silos
  • Stubbornness
  • Bad manners
  • Shouting or finger-wagging

This Senior Executive Meetings course helps identify counterproductive behaviours that creep into Senior Executive Meetings. Using an appreciative inquiry, your Senior Leadership Team endorses the behaviours that will help deliver the best outcomes from the meeting. This means that you now have a clear map and charter of how to conduct Senior Executive meetings in a far more constructive and collegiate manner.

This course is not designed as a rehash of what has been done incorrectly. Quite the opposite, the course makes a line in the sand to ensure that your very next meeting will be a positive and rewarding experience.

Participants will learn how to deflect anger rather than confront anger. Participants will learn how to deal with these behaviours in a manner that keeps any follow-up aggravation at bay and more importantly keeps your people safe. Other participants that have completed this course have reported their surprise at how this methodology has helped them take control or regain control by using proven psychological tools.

These behaviours are difficult to face. Often there is no flow or logic to the outburst. The ideal outcome is that you remain safe and can put the incident behind you. Drug and alcohol affected people are now a growing hazard too.

This course helps participants discover a toolbox of ideas and strategies to use in these intense situations. Participants explore a number of psychological tools they can use when they feel intimidated or angry in these encounters.

Imagine the difference if your managers and staff could manage the centre more effectively. Imagine anticipating and solving problems in their infancy, rather than a crisis management approach. Imagine being able to deflect anger rather than meet the anger head on. To address these concerns, we’ve designed this short, practical management course specifically for leisure centre managers, supervisors and team leaders.

“Imagine anticipating and solving problems in their infancy rather than a crisis management approach.”

The breakthrough course gives leisure centre managers proven tools to manage your leisure centre more effectively.

LEISURE MANAGEMENT, OR MANAGING LEISURELY

COMMON CONCERNS THAT LEISURE CENTRE STAFF HAVE ABOUT COUNCIL:

“Being apart from Council can make us feel isolated. A visit from Council often has some ego of authority involved as they wear suits and we wear gym gear which often bears bleach splatter stains from the pool.”

“Our customers can be at times unbelievably rude. Some of our customers treat the centre as a refuge centre. Some of our gym customers are narcissists who believe we are their slaves. And the hardest thing is that our staff get regularly shouted at and abused. When we ask Council for help, they make all these plans with very little action”

“An unexpected visit from the mother-in-law is preferable to an expected visit from Council.”

COMMON CONCERNS THAT COUNCILS HAVE ABOUT LEISURE CENTRE STAFF:

“We ask for the same reports umpteen times, and then they give us flak about how busy they are. If they know the reports are due, why does it always have to be so hard.”

“Leisure Management is a good description. The Managers won’t criticise staff. They won’t performance-manage staff properly and then when it all falls over they rely on Council to fix up the mess.”

“They don’t see the bigger picture. They think if they get through the day without any serious issues, then that’s productive. They think that is management. It’s not. Management should also be making things better and eliminating recurring problems. I reckon 90% of their workload is the same difficulties over and over again. No point in telling them as they won’t listen as they know better.”
