In a week’s time, July 27, Working Leadership Online begins the second in our summer coaching series, Coaching – The Employee Contract and Underperformance. This is perhaps the toughest conversation a manager has to have.

We are offering (10) scholarships to the program. If you are interested in this online program, please reply to [Ask Tom]. First come first served.

I am updating the Orientation to the program, here is a short clip of “How to get the most from this program.”

Learn by doing. This program is not designed as a lecture series. This program is NOT about how much I know. This program is about you. We have developed specific elements to be completed in your working environment. That’s why we called it Working Leadership.

The Goal is NOT to read a bunch of stuff. The Goal is NOT to simply complete assignments. The Goal is to create new habits, habits that are discovered, habits that become a part of who you are, as a manager.

We have created a learning community. Each person in Working Leadership is committed to pushing themselves to a higher level. I know, because this program makes you think. If you are reading this, then you are part of that group with the desire to learn. If you are not that kind of person, well, what’s the point? You aren’t reading this anyway. -TF
