Purpose:To develop behavioral expectations that will serve as the cornerstone for feedback and conflict resolution, and will guide appropriate behaviors and interpersonal interactions
Duration: 2-4 hours, dependent upon delivery method used
Overview: Individual behaviors are a reality in life, but how can we make them work toward the success of the work group? Establishing the parameters of behavioral standards, or expectations, is critical to creating effective working relationships. Utilizing the company values as the guide, groups will define specific actions that will support those values and drive the group toward business success. Work groups develop their expectations of the leader, the leader develops his/her expectations of the group, and group members also develop expectations of each other. Participants then develop a process for handling situations when an individual does not meet the expectations.
Audience: Any organizational employee, organizational group, or project team
Delivery:CSI Consultant Led, Train-the-Trainer, and Off-the-Shelf
