The Leader’s Dilemma: How To Balance Two Important Needs [2023 Webinar]

About this Event

Have you ever struggled to decide whether it is more important to support your people or your agency? On the one hand, you want to do the right thing to take care of those on the frontline, but you’ve also got to make sure that the work gets done. Most supervisors, managers, and executives have encountered this dilemma.

In fact, it’s a commonly mentioned concern in management training classes. In this webinar, Dr. Ed Sherman will discuss the balance between productivity and ensuring that employees have the assistance and resources that are necessary to function effectively. While sometimes considered as being in opposition to one another, these two needs can and should exist in a parallel, complimentary manner to produce the best possible outcomes, as will become evident during this training.

Take Aways:

Achieve agency goals and objectives while concurrently supporting staff members to maximize cooperation, morale, and productivity.

• Enhance methods of workplace communication and interaction
• Identify and resolve concerns and issues before they escalate
• Increase staff commitment, involvement, and participation

Target Audience

Any employee of a state, federal or local correctional jurisdiction.

How Do I Participate Effectively In a WebEx Event Center Webinar? How Do I Get Ready?

To attend an NIC WebEx Event Center webinar, you need a hands-free telephone, headset or earbuds, and an internet-enabled computer. For optimum learning, be in a quiet place, free from distractions / interruptions, sight-and sound separated from others, where you can concentrate on what is happening during the webinar. A separate office space with a door to close is an ideal setting. Connect to the webinar audio bridge via a hands-free telephone, using earbuds / headset connected to your phone / cell phone so your hands are free to interact with your keyboard.
