In situations of dramatic organizational change, leaders are quickly
selected and placed in key roles. New leaders find themselves in over their
heads. Experienced leaders find little time to mentor and coach new leaders.
This catch-22 can prevent sustained growth and change. Without appropriate
skills, organizational growth and change is hindered.
Selecting and assimilating new staff
Hiring is not just hiring, particularly, when
searching for key leaders and individual contributors. The selection process
begins with defining the actual business need for the position and securing
agreement from all stakeholders in what is required for the success of the new
staff member. Signal tree assists organizations in analyzing the need for a new
position, defining the key accountabilities and matching individual
qualifications. Signal tree also assists in hiring strategy, budget management
of the recruiting process and appropriate compensation.
Assessment
Signal Tree assists experienced leaders in growing
and developing new leaders through a variety of assessment tools, 360 degree
feedback, and effective performance management systems. These tools will
accelerate the process of developing new leaders. Delegation, risk taking,
reformulating strategy, inspiring others and reorganizing for improved
performance are not typically inherited characteristics. Leaders can be guided
to acquiring these and other business attributes. Signal trees programs and
processes are custom designed to improve decision making, conflict resolution,
performance management, teamwork, and inspiring accountability.
Training and development
Most organization members are familiar with training
as a method for enabling change. Traditional (classroom) and non-traditional
(experiential) forms of training are often utilized and can be effective. A
variety of other methods can also contribute to significant growth and
development. Some examples are goal, setting, performance management, team
building, job sharing, cross training, participation in special projects, and
more.

Increasing Human Effectiveness (IHE)
Organizations don’t change, people in the
organization change. Increasing Human Effectiveness is a program targeting
upper and mid-level management, as well as their employees. This two-day
interactive program will assist your employees in reaching their full potential
through goal setting, learning the impact of attitudes, and recognizing healthy
self-esteem. The concepts, facilitated by our certified staff, have helped

organization is to help employees become better people. IHE walks the
participant through the steps needed to develop their plan of action for change
and then engages them in the implementation of that change. Success in every

employees reach their full potential and in turn help your organization achieve
success.

Respect in the Workplace (RIW)
Conducting business in our global economy has brought
significant demographic changes to our labor force. Employees who demonstrate
an attitude of respect for our diverse workforce are invaluable to an
organization. Companies that promote respect for diversity are supporting
healthy interpersonal skill development, improving employee’s cohesive teamwork
abilities, and providing advanced professional development contributing to the
success of an organization.
Respect in the Workplace is a two-day workshop
designed to create awareness of our global community. Designed for employees at
every level of the company, this workshop will enhance a person’s ability to
work successfully with others regardless of their background. We’ve spent a
lifetime developing myths, stereotypes, and prejudgments toward situations or
people. By increasing our awareness of these we can change our attitude,
elevate our personal growth, and possess a more positive attitude toward people
from backgrounds.
