will be characterized by discussion of emerging markets,
new ventures, and the effect of global telecommunications
and concepts described in the book "The World is Flat."

IGIHOS0948
Creativity for Managers and
Leaders: Have fun learning a
great leadership skill - creativity!
Successful companies and leaders do not happen by chance.
What sets successful companies and leaders apart from
the pack is often their approach to, understanding of, and
implementation of their own creativity skills. Everyone is
creative, yet few know how to bring their creative talents
to the forefront, and those who believe that they are not
creative simply have not yet learned how to unlock their
creative potential.
Creativity can, and should be, the focus of training. In
this session participants will engage in self-assessments
of creative skills and then engage in the active formation
of new creativity skills to employ in the workplace. They
will learn both creativity-enhancing skills and techniques
that highly successful leaders throughout the world have
employed for centuries, as well as, new techniques for
accomplishing greater personal and company creativity.
The results will be astounding.
Participants will learn what creativity is (and is not) and
how everyone can enhance their creative abilities and skills.
They will be able to identify which creativity techniques
are most useful in each setting, and how to teach others
to be more creative.
IGIHOS0950
Leadership vs Management: Why
you want to be a Leader, not a
Manager
Leaders inspire others to do things, managers carry out
tasks. Successful hospitality careers are built on leadership
skills, not on management skills. Knowing the difference
between the two and knowing how to utilize the best possible
leadership skills in different environments is critical to
successful career development and to company financial
success. This organizational behavior session is devoted to
helping managers learn how to become better leaders through
discussions and activities designed to illustrate the difference
between leadership and management. The session employs an
interactive learning style wherein participants actively engage
in activities designed to improve their own skills.
IGIHOS0951
Power and Empowerment:
Getting the most out of
Employees and Managers
This session focuses on helping managers and leaders
effectively use various forms of power and empowerment
to bring greater rewards to themselves as individuals and
to their companies. Although many are in positions of
power, few use the power they are given correctly. The old
adage of "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts
absolutely" is true, unless managed properly. Learn how to
effectively use this extremely powerful, yet often abused,
skill to your best advantage.
Attendees will engage in multiple participant-involvement
activities specifically designed to teach them how to recognize
and utilize different power approaches, skills, and tactics,
such as how to: evaluate power tactics and choose the
right approach for the target market and situation, utilize
the power of others to your advantage in order to build
successful careers and companies, delegate properly, evaluate
your own approaches and beliefs about power, as well as
those above, below and around them, evaluate and satisfy
the power needs of managers and employees, while building
your own power base appropriately.
IGIHOS0952
Managers and Leaders: Training
and Development
This session will provide managers and leaders with an
understanding of how training works, why training is
called a "cyclical process", and why training is so important
to your company's success. A substantial portion of the
session is devoted to helping participants understand when
and how to use different approaches to ensure successful
training. Participants will learn how to develop training needs
assessments, objectives, and criteria, plan effective training
sessions, recognize and diffuse resistance to training and
change, and how to evaluate the effectiveness of training
programs. Participants will also actively engage in the
development and implementation of a training session.
