"Managing Yourself, Leading Others, Unleashing Potential!"
7 Habits for Small Business Managers

FranklinCovey's "7 Habits for Small Business Managers" workshop is an intensive, hands-on learning experience that focuses on the fundamentals of great leadership. It improves people and they improve the success of the business - dramatically!

"The principles rang true and were
answers to my current ... management challenges."
~ J.J. (workshop attendee, seasoned manager)

Participants will learn how to:

  • Identify and leverage otherwise “hidden” or underutilized resources
  • Enjoy greater purposefulness in your daily work
  • Get out of “crisis mode”
  • Build a positively motivated team that performs better than ever before
  • Avoid losing so much time to unproductive meetings and negotiations
  • Deal productively and effectively with conflict
  • Lead superbly by unleashing the greater potential of your team

This dynamic training opportunity gives new and experienced managers a set of tools that will help them meet all of today's management challenges.

"I strongly believe in this program."
~ E.W. (workshop attendee, business consultant)

See exactly how each habit will help you and your business!

Tools for Highly Effective Managers:

The 7 Habits for Small Business Managers workshop is taught as a multi-session, facilitator-led workshop. The workshop follows a reinforced learning process that includes:

  • A rich, comprehensive participant guidebook
  • A Management Essentials book with insights on the role of the manager
  • An audio CD with Stephen R. Covey explaining how The 7 Habits apply to managers
  • Paper and electronic versions of the tools included in the workshop

"...will greatly help my business grow."
~ C.M. (workshop attendee, business owner)

How does The 7 Habits of Managers differ from traditional leadership training? Compare for yourself:

Traditional
7 Habits for Managers
The "Industrial-Age" approach: providing generic "skills and techniques" needed to control employee behavior. The "Age of Knowledge Work" approach: unleashing the potential of team members, freeing them to make their best contribution.
Management without the foundation of character training and the discipline to manage themselves first. Managers who work on their character, who manage themselves effectively before trying to lead others.
Managers trained to a standard of minimal competence - who then give minimally back to the organization. Managers bring their "whole selves" to work, define their unique contribution, and who achieve great and enduring results.
