MANAGEMENT TRAINING CENTER
Individual Online Training Courses
Our leadership and management training courses will help you advance your career by learning the critical skills needed to become an excellent manager or supervisor!
The learning environment for today’s leaders must be more flexible, time sensitive and cost effective than classroom-only courses allow. But some online, or e-learning, solutions lack accountability and quality.
These solutions don’t engage or challenge participants, and they don’t provide the benefits organizations want and need. Organizations need effective online courses that improve leadership skills and don’t disrupt important projects.
Our award-winning Leadership Series™ curriculum in a convenient, interactive online format. Vital E-Learning™ provides supervisors, team leaders and managers with the best skills-based training from any computer, enabling leaders to work at their own pace, as time allows. With these courses, organizations can provide their employees with valuable training in leadership skills, sales proficiency, productivity, customer service and talent management.
The Leadership Series which consists of twelve modules can be purchased individually or as a complete training course.

Developing and Coaching Others is about how managers can effectively and successfully develop and coach their team leaders to become better and more consistent performers. The program will help your managers learn the specifics of how they can effectively impact the learning process and coaching moments of their teams to make the difference.
This module provides the tools necessary to dramatically reduce problem behaviors. By involving team members in performance discussions and gaining their commitment to behavioral change, managers and supervisors can turn a potentially negative interaction into a positive developmental step. Leaders develop the skills needed to address problem behavior while preserving the individual’s self-respect. That encourages the best kind of discipline – self-discipline.
Essential Skills of Communicating (ESC) provides the tools necessary to develop clear, concise messages. Focusing on communication as a two-way process, the program can help even experienced managers improve their messages by making them clear, well-organized and aimed at the needs and interests of the listener. By developing the essential skills of communicating, managers improve relations with their team members and increase productivity.
Essential Skills of Leadership (ESL) is the first step to developing successful managers and team leaders. By focusing on three critical management skills, the program establishes a methodology for productive interactions between team members and team leaders. ESL helps experienced managers, new managers, and aspiring managers refocus on the basics – the skills required to manage the individual while also leading the team.
Provides the tools necessary to recognize and to address poor work habits – even those of a team member who may be successful in his or her job. By focusing on the negative behavior and gaining the individual’s acceptance and commitment to change, the manager effectively addresses the issue before it develops into a disciplinary problem for everyone on the team.
Define goals, objectives, and performance standards. Identify and set performance standards that are specific, measurable, attainable, results oriented, and time-framed, using concrete active language. Establish time limits for standards and negotiate for standards that address desired results and team members’ capabilities.
Learn to base assessments on facts and behavior. Use positive feedback to motivate team members. Gain team member participation in and agreement with assessment; and their commitment to the change needed to improve performance.
Managing conflict is a critical part of work life. Recognize the positive and negative impacts of conflicts and leverage it to everyone’s advantage. Distinguish between the two major sources of conflict at work so they can be resolved fairly and effectively. Using effective communication techniques, managers can help individuals understand each other’s point of view and move beyond it.
Understand why change happens, how people react to it, and how to support as teams struggle with it. Involve team in change initiative by promoting ownership of change and benefits. Plan for follow-up sessions that support the process and reinforce personal and organizational goals.
Our online format reduces training time and increases training flexibility.
