For over 25 years, Holladay Management Services, Inc. has specialized in the "art" of managing people having developed effective and extremely successful programs for a broad range of companies all across America. Each program is tailored to the needs of your organization and can include any level or levels of management.

Prior to the start of any program, we conduct a thorough assessment pinpoint specific areas of need. This data, combined with information obtained through direct personal interviews with selected managers, then allows us to create a more closely fitting program that will focus on the areas of development most relevant to your organization.

These may include:

Communication Motivation Union Avoidance Decision Making Goal Setting

Time Management Handling Conflict Managing Change Productivity Team Effectiveness

After designing your program, the development of your managers takes place through a variety of activities:

Classroom Training Situational role-playing Case studies One-on-one development sessions Homework assignments

In more than 25 years experience we have learned that to effect measurable and positive behavioral change requires a minimum of 6-8 months. For this reason we typically design our programs in 6-8 month sections each ending with a re-assessment to chart participant's individual development.

Each section consists of monthly sessions at your facility - typically 5 days per month. A report of training activities, observations and recommendations follow each monthly visit

Here are some of the results you can expect from your Management Development efforts:

• You should notice departments becoming more productive and quality oriented without adding any new employees, pride in performance beginning to build, and costs coming down due to increased employee efficiencies.

• You should notice a lowering of your turnover rates as your employees begin to stay longer due to more effective and considerate treatment by your managers.

• Your supervisors and managers become more skillful in handling employee complaints resulting in higher management not always having to get involved.

• A cleaner, better organized environment.

• Managers and supervisors will have a much clearer understanding of profit/loss and be able to effectively verbalize their feelings to the employees.

• There will be fewer cases of marginal employees as supervisors begin to address these issues with sound evaluation skills and holding subordinates accountable for results.
