Frequently Asked Questions

Who may register for the IEC’s Maximum Leadership and High Performance Workforce Development Programs?
The Maximum Leadership Program is open to all future and current leaders (informal, front-line, and above) in Sarnia-Lambton. Similarly, the High Performance Workforce Development Program is open to the general workforce in our community (employed or seeking employment).

What Information is in this Leadership Development Guide?
The guide includes course descriptions, schedules, prices, registration information, etc. We have also incorporated background information from DDI on the following:

• A model to follow for effective development
• The link between business needs, leadership skills, and the courses that are designed to close skill gaps and contribute to business results
• The 7 leadership imperatives or “must-do’s that are the basis of the leadership courses offered

Which courses should leaders and supervisors take?
The IEC’s Maximum Leadership Program is designed for informal, team leaders, current and future leaders. We also offer a course specifically for managers and supervisors of first-line leaders. Courses in the Maximum Leadership Program are:

• Interaction Management Essentials (foundation or pre-requisite course for all others
• Coaching series:
  • Coaching for Success
  • Coaching for Imporvment
  • Managing Performance Porblems
• Resolving Conflict
• Leading Change (scheduled for release Winter 2004, current information in the guide refers to the existing course Helping Others Adapt to Change)
• Supporting Leadership Development (a special course designed for 2nd line leaders and managers of the leaders and supervisors enrolled in the Maximum Leadership Program)

Which courses are for the general workforce?
While the Guide is primarily focused on first and second-line leadership development, we believe people are leaders at all levels, so we have included complementary workforce development programs.
The IEC’s High Performance Workforce Program is intended for the general workforce. We currently have two offerings:

• Interaction Skills for Success (foundation or pre-requisite course for all others in the High Performance Workforce Program)
• Working Through Conflict
