Results-Based Interactions

HR Classes Offered to DHHS Supervisors

This leadership development program teaches participants how to be effective leaders with the ability to coach and mobilize others to achieve desired results.

The two and one-half day course includes video samples and skill practice in the following areas:

  • Interaction Process
    Leaders learn the Interaction Process, which is critical for effective and efficient discussions. They review and practice five Key Principles of communication and develop responses for different situations using combinations of all five. Then, they learn and practice Interaction Guidelines, problem-solving strategies, and process skills.
  • Feedback Skills
    Leaders learn two types of feedback and share positive or improvement feedback for STAR examples.
  • Helping Others Adapt to Change
    Leaders learn the four phases of change and discuss how they can help others adapt to change. The facilitator introduces three types of change discussions and shows how leaders can be positive models for adapting to change.
  • Interaction Process for Managing Change
    Leaders learn how to use the Interaction Process in change discussions and identify how to use two of the key principles in upcoming discussions.
  • Coaching for Success
    Leaders discuss the difference between as well as benefits and barriers of coaching for success and for improvement. A video of coaching opportunities stresses how recognizing opportunities is key to preparing others to succeed.
  • Coaching for Improvement
    Leaders view a video of challenging improvement discussions after discussing differences between work habits and poor performance and the paths improvement situations can take.
  • Follow-up Coaching for Improvement Discussions
    After reviewing the paths a follow-up improvement discussion can take, leaders explore natural and formal consequences for a lack of improvement.
  • Stages of Conflict
    Leaders discuss different perceptions and the potential for conflicts at work. A video shows the escalation of conflict, and leaders learn the states of conflict and conflict resolution tactics.
  • OPAL
    Leaders explore this on-line advisor system available on-the-job to review and further develop skills introduced in this training.
