Leadership Training Program
Sept. 28-30: Giombetti Associates, a leadership insti- tute providing behaviorally based talent-develop- ment and acquisition services, will host the second of three three-day leadership training programs for 2021 at the Delaney House in Holyoke. This intensive course covers the power of Performance Dynamics
and how it can help participants know themselves better; different leadership styles and what makes them effective or ineffective; the importance of being vulnerable and transparent; how to build interper- sonal relationships; what effective onboarding is
and how it will help participants’ organizations and employees; how to be an efficient communicator; the best way to deliver developmental feedback; building teamwork and the value of team building; and trust, integrity, and more. Prior to training, each participant goes through Performance Dynamics, an assessment that consists of three personality inven- tories designed to identify 17 different traits that drive personality and behavior. Then, in an interac-
Agenda
tive, one-on-one feedback session, the participant develops a newfound self-awareness of their behav- ioral strengths, learns how to manage their personal- ity more effectively, and gains an understanding of how their personality impacts others. Throughout the three-day training, the participant is encouraged to constantly refer to and link their personality to the leadership issue being discussed. All the subject matter is wrapped around individual personality and how it affects behavior in different situations, yielding a unique experience of self-exploration.
To learn more about the three-day leadership pro- gram, which has an additional session scheduled in November, visit giombettiassoc.com/three-day-lead- ership-training-program. Registration is now open for both sessions.
