So much has been said and written about leadership. But where do you start??

This course, Decision Making for Leaders: Managing Change is not just based on time-tested business research, but also on the hands-on application by its instructor, Mike Vella. Mike served as the heads of operations for both a major tier 1 automotive supplier and a major commercial food processor. And this course offers some of the priceless concepts that steered him toward success as an industry leader.

This class is divided into four major sections, each connected to a critical aspect of managing organizational change: Vigilant Leadership, Cultural Change, Hiring for Talent, and Structured Problem Solving. Each section is about 40 minutes long ... easily watched or listened to during an evening or lunch break.

  • In Vigilant Leadership, you will learn the importance of vigilance in the workplace, not just for the top-level executive, but for every person who wants to grow with the organization. You will hear several examples of both vigilance and non-vigilance within major corporations. And you will hear 10 useful strategies for improving you vigilance and acting on trends within your industry.

  • In Cultural Change, you will understand how innovations are diffused, or spread throughout an organization or within society at large. And using this innovation diffusion modal, Mike will share with you practical tips for getting your improvement project or new business system accepted by your organization.

  • In Hiring for Talent, Mike explains the traditional approach for hiring new employees and why it so often fails. Using a different approach of hiring for talent, leaders can select candidates based on their natural propensities, not just their knowledge and experience. Mike also offers a collection of questions that can help you identify the talents of your potential team members.

  • And lastly, in Structured Problem Solving, Mike explains the "8D Methodology", a universal problem solving method originally developed at the Ford Motor Company in the 1980's for use by their engineering teams. You will learn about each of the 8 "D's" or disciplines required to solve complex problems with unknown causes.
