What Will I Learn?

These courses present the cornerstones of the Adizes Methodology, such as CAPI
(Coalesced Authority, Power and Influence), PAEI (managerial styles), the Lifecycle
concept, the Eight Steps of decision making, and the power of mutual trust and respect.
These, and other key knowledge points represent an opportunity to take your
organization to the next level, to have your enterprise, company or team perform
at the highest levels in the marketplace.

How do we do this? Not by lecturing or talking to you. In Breakthrough to Prime, the
workshop is highly interactive and you will actually experience the power of the methodology firsthand. The online dialogue of TeamworkPlus! and Leadership Tools for Managing
Change inspire questions related to your specific applications as you access the
experience and perspective of a Certified Adizes Associate and your colleagues worldwide.
You will:

UNDERSTAND your personal management style and that of your team,
so you can CREATE exceptional results.

All people have a distinct management style. Understanding the keys to these
styles is critical to creating exceptional teams that can effectively implement change. You will discover your own style and learn how to analyze and better communicate
 with the styles of others in your company for maximum results and influence of every member of your team.

UNDERSTAND the key factors that DRAMATICALLY impact decision making,
maximizing your chances for EFFECTIVE change before decisions are
even made.

Effective change can only occur if decisions are well thought out and properly
implemented.Discover the predictive power of the PAEI model of decision-making,
the importance of CAPI™ groups: how to understand Authority, Power and
Influence and unlock the secrets to mastering change. Discover the importance
of conflict and how to harness it in order to make effective decisions and
implement them efficiently. Understand the magic that a complementary
 management team can create through building mutual trust and respect.

LEARN HOW TO avoid the conflict that is so destructive in so many organizations.

Conflict is inevitable, and the best run companies know how to use this to their
advantage. Apply the knowledge you will gain about conflicting styles and interests
 to recognize when conflict may arise and master the techniques to make conflict
 work for you. Determine the capability of each person on your team to handle and resolve conflicts constructively.

DISCOVER where your company is in its lifecycle. PREDICT and PREPARE for the
challenges you will face. 

Organizations, like all living things, have cycles of life. They're born, they grow,
they mature, and they die. Understanding where your business is in its corporate lifecycle is the key to understanding whether your challenges are normal,
abnormal or life threatening. Identify and predict the patterns that influence how
you move through the lifecycles, and learn effective strategies for accelerating your growth throughout the lifecycles.

DISCOVER how to avoid the "Founders Trap", so you are never fired,
bought out or replaced. 

Companies often outgrow the founders' capabilities to implant their personal
leadership styles and philosophies. Unlock the hidden keys to avoiding the
Founders Trap™ and bypass the challenges and stress that Founders can
experience.

Be able to ANTICIPATE the corporate downward spiral and descent into
aging. MASTER the strategies to avoid this fate.

Aging in companies is caused by a decrease in flexibility and an increase in
control. Learn how to take your company to Prime where there is a balance of
flexibility and control, and master the techniques required to keep your company in Prime
