Here in the Upper Midwest, small businesses tend to promote from within, often tapping employees with proven records of accountability, leadership and content expertise for our top positions. However, studies show that once businesses have secured top people in their top spots, investment in leadership training and management skills sometimes wanes or stops altogether.
In Quint Studer’s exceptional book “Hardwiring Excellence”, he writes that the key message employers need to send to their top performers is one of re-recruitment. “I value you. I want to invest in your continued success. “ From there, you build an emotional bank account and nurture a give-take employee-employer relationship that emphasizes performance, loyalty and empowerment.
That’s why the Tripp County Office of Development is excited to partner with Dale Carnegie to host a 1-day course here in Winner. Dale Carnegie is a proven name in motivation, sales and leadership education and has worked with some of Tripp County’s largest businesses to improve sales and customer service models.
Specializing in tools of engagement, Dale Carnegie focuses on “coaching in the moment” to help participants redirect existing behaviors into more successful performances.
If you would like to participate in the class or learn more about Dale Carnegie, feel free to call the Office of Development or check out the DC website at www.nesd.dalecarnegie.com. The 1-day class will be held October 26th at the Holiday Inn Express in Winner. To register, call (605) 842-1551 or email develop@winnersd.org. Cost is $75 per attendee and there are discounts for groups of 5 or more.
The Tripp County Office of Development is committed to helping new businesses locate to our area but, just as importantly, we want to see our local operations thrive and continue to grow. Making an investment in tomorrow’s leaders will help strengthen our community and provide continuing education for our local managers and up and comers.
