OSU Houston Management Development Consortium | Presented by Dr. Kenneth Eastman
Strengthening Employee Performance
9:00 A.M. - 12:00 P.M.
The effective leader knows how to motivate followers with quantitative and qualitative rewards. Although when thinking of rewards one often only thinks of monetary compensation, recognition can be a very effective motivational tool. In this session, rewards and several approaches to motivation will be discussed including goal setting, reinforcement theory, and equity. Situations in which each of these approaches is most effective will also be discussed. Participants also will learn how to reward people efficiently and to help employees motivate themselves.
From Traditionals To Millennials: Leading Generations At Work
1:00 P.M. - 4:00 P.M.

The answer largely lies here: for the first time, four generations are converging in the workplace. Examine how the different life experiences of Traditionals, Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials create challenges in communicating and collaborating. You will also consider ways to bridge the generational divide. This seminar will explore how to communicate and establish a multi-generation working environment, and key strategies to managing these employees.

OSU Houston Management Development Consortium--Managing Confrontations | Presented by Dr. Bryan Edwards
Confrontations comprise the very foundations of accountability, and when they are handled poorly, they result in failed promises, missed expectations, lack of accountability, and bad behavior. Learn how to effectively manage confrontation and make rapid and substantial improvements in individual, team, and organizational results. This seminar teaches a straightforward step-by-step process for identifying and resolving performance gaps, strengthening accountability, eliminating inconsistency and reducing resentment. Each person knows someone who has violated expectations, broken promises, or performed poorly. Indeed, most organizational failures, team disasters, and family discord are the natural result of chronic problems people have either failed to confront or confronted poorly.
Built upon years of managerial research, this seminar in crucial confrontations directly addresses gaps between expectations and performance with a model that ensures individual and team effectiveness. You will learn how to approach confrontations in a different and more encouraging way. You will learn to hold someone accountable face-to-face by making a clear and direct connection between action and consequences. Additionally, you will learn to master performance discussions, motivate without using power and move to action.
