Coaching for Results: How to Manage Disruptive Employee Behavior and Solve Tough Problems will be held from 1 - 5 p.m.
When it comes to supervision and management, there’s nothing more frustrating than dealing with an employee’s disruptive behavior or chronically poor performance. Faced with these types of challenges, many managers repeat the same failed approaches: they expect the situation to correct itself or they hope the employee will move on to other employment.

By the end of the program, you will be better able to:
