MANAGE YOUR BOSS

👥  Two groups : 7 sessions per group
💻 Online & IAAF
💰 Members: 50€ – Only for Members

Is the quality of you  relationship with your boss jeopardizing your performance and your well-being at work. Do you have some difficulties to communicate with him/her. Misunderstandings, disagreements, lack of consideration.

Do you have several managers (direct, matrix organization, etc.), which may make your daily business more complicated? Are you adapting to new modes of hybrid working which may add tension to those relationships?
Your boss sets your objectives/goals, assigns you the tasks you need to perform, allocates resources, assesses your performance, and decides your bonus and salary. So managing the relationship with him/her properly is an absolute priority!

To improve your relationship and enable you to manage your boss more effectively, we propose to discuss all of these situations using co-development workshops.

CO-DEVELOPMENT, WHAT IS IT ?
Co-development is a method for people who want to learn from each other and to improve and develop their professional skills. Workshops are organized in small groups to share experiences among participants. By sharing their issues and their best practices, participants learn and progress together. Groups will be facilitated by Dominique Flora and Jocelyn Phelps.

FRAMEWORK : BEING OPEN UP TO OTHERS
Open-mindedness, respect, kindness, and confidentiality are the pillars of “co-development”. These workshops don’t aim to analyze whether a participant’s situation is an issue or not; instead the goal is understanding why each specific situation is considered an issue for a participant and helping him/her to find solutions.
