Management Training Institute Focuses on SERVICE in Management Training Seminar

Easthampton, Massachusetts, November 1, 2013 - The Management Training Institute, announced today that they have revitalized their management training seminars with a focus on principles of SERVICE and SERVANT LEADERSHIP, as part of their onsite menu of management classes and management training seminars.

Management training seminars show how being of service can improve management success.
According to Jim Hornickel, Director of Training and Development at Management Training Institute, being of service is one of the most important traits of leaders who inspire high degrees of loyalty and commitment in the people they manage. This concept of service is included in the management training seminars and management classes provided by Management Training Institute in the US, Canada and cities around the globe.

Mr. Hornickel, whose book Managing from the Inside Out includes an extensive chapter on service, gives the example of past New York City Mayor Ed Koch who was famous for his routine of strolling through the city streets and asking his fellow New Yorkers the question “How am I doing?” Said Mr. Hornickel, “Koch wasn’t afraid of asking the people of New York what they thought he was doing right and what they wanted him to improve. As a servant leader, the Mayor knew he couldn’t be successful in leading his fellow New Yorkers unless he was also successful in serving them.” This concept of servant leadership has become a powerful management theme which is explored in Management Success, a popular management training seminar, delivered by Management Training Institute.

Servant leadership: One of the important management skills
Servant leaders and managers place a high value on meeting the needs of their team and of the individual employees they manage. They strive to ensure that everyone is given opportunities to learn and grow, and that the team, as a whole, has a major role in decision-making. But how do new managers learn to emulate these practices? Another more seasoned manager might answer: by participating in a Management Training Institute management class such as Management Essentials.

In the management training seminars offered by Management Training Institute, group discussion gets at the underlying behaviors of Servant Leaders. For example, servant leaders model being concerned and responsive to the needs of others, and motivate their employees to act in similar ways. Often great consensus builders, servant leaders can rally their employees to move beyond individual differences in order to support the greater good of the team as a whole. Where managers are successful in corporating acts of service, the result is often a workplace high in commitment, morale and productivity. Since these practices of servant leadership can vary from situation to situation, one of the most powerful features of the management training seminar offered by Management Training Instituteis the group discussion.

Management training seminars translate servant leadership into management skills that can be learned and practiced.
Through management training seminars, managers can learn the skills of a servant leader that will bring out the best in themselves and in the people they lead. Suzanne Guthrie, Director of Learning at The Management Training Institute, points out the importance of taking a concept such as “servant leader” and translating it into everyday steps and behaviors that can be learned and practiced not only in management classes but in everyday work. “In our management training seminars we use situations our participants frequently face to demonstrate how acts of service can lead to a more cohesive and committed team.”

“By focusing on techniques such as Management-By-Walking-Around”, says Guthrie, “managers learn new ways to increase their visibility, build stronger relationships with their employees, and understand how to support their team.” These new techniques, linked to the concept of Service, have allowed the Management Training Institute’s numerous management training seminars stand out from other management classes.

The Management Training Institute’s management training courses have strong experiential components. Drawing on its experience with successful Fortune 500 companies, the Management Training Institute utilizes interactive learning methodologies to ignite the interests of all members of the management classes. Says Guthrie, “We focus on giving participants a chance to practice new management skills in the learning environment afforded by the management training seminar. It’s one thing to discuss being of service in the abstract, but that’s meaningless without learning concrete strategies and behaviors based on the spirit of service that will yield strong and positive results at work. A management training seminar gives participants the opportunity to practice in a structured environment, to get feedback and to polish skills.”
