Topic: Special Invitation to a TeleShowcase


You are invited to a special teleshowcase
on Providing Your Managers with the Education, Knowledge & Skills to Improve Critical managerial and leadership Competencies

Do you provide training in ManagementorSupervisory Development?

  • To Incumbent Managers?
  • To Pre-Management Candidates?
  • As Distance Learning?
  • To Newly Promoted Managers?

Do you expect that training to lead to improved results?

Do leaders in the organization need to sharpen some of their managerial skills?

We’re betting they do!!


ALD, Inc. invites you to a FREE 1 hour teleshowcase
on providing your managers with the education and knowledge to improve their competency in critical leadership and managerial skills!

We’re a training/development and consulting organization and have worked in the real world as managers for over 15 years plus had another 15 years as coaches and trainers to classes of managers and individuals.

Consistently, we’ve observed that it’s the basics many students are missing. As they go through our classes, participants often remark that they wish their manager were going through this. Even at higher levels in organizations, the basics are too often missing.

We find that too many experienced managers do not possess…


  • An understanding of their role as a leader and the breadth of influence they wield over their direct reports
  • Simple communication skills
  • Awareness of the criticality of setting performance goals
  • Knowledge of how to delegate
  • Courage to step up to performance issues
  • Ability to provide feedback or an appreciation of the importance of giving feedback
  • Coaching skills
  • Knowledge about how to represent change in the organization to team members

Any manager or leader needs command of these (and more) basic skills!

What’s it costing your organization NOT to have proficiency in these abilities?

Customer Satisfaction?

Employee Satisfaction?

Continuing poor performance?

Lost opportunities?

Lost time?

Bottom Line Business Results?

Our teleshowcase provides a detailed overview a resource – the Supervision Series - that can help you equip your management team with the critical skills to overcome the costs.


What is the Supervision Series?

Vital Learning Corp. - publisher of this series - has been at the forefront of leader/manager training for over 20 years. Millions of people have benefited from this training. Vital Learning’s training is effective because participants see the new skills, practice the new skills, and most importantly, are ready to transfer the new skills to their work and apply them to their job.


There are 12 Modules in the Series

Each module can be a stand-alone course and you have options for delivering them

~Student takes the course online
 ~ Facilitate the course in the classroom
~ Conduct a blended learning session – the online course with classroom reinforcement

This may be the most flexible and customizable
developmental series available

1.Take the online course - get the concepts, skill points AND a practice situation - most of the KSA (knowledge, skills, abilities) package (about 1.5 – 2.0 hours)

2.Teach in the classroom - get the knowledge, skill points AND the reinforcement practice - the complete KSA (knowledge, skills, abilities) package (about 4 hours)

3.Use the blended learning approach - take the online course, use an abbreviated classroom session to reinforce the learning - the complete KSA (knowledge, skills, abilities) package (you choose the amount of time)

Here are the courses in the series – they address many of the skills that we find managers need refreshers in or even first-time training
