Today was the final of three teambuilding sessions with the amazing professionals at TEEG!

Teambuilding only works when the participants fully engage in the process and these folks knocked it out of the park.

Grateful for the chance to learn and work with (and be inspired by) such a dedicated team.

REAL Custom Training is devoted to helping organizations invest in their people's leadership abilities.

That's why our student's employers pay for them to take our programs on company time (as opposed to the students paying out of pocket and taking programs off the clock).

The company pays. You take the workshops, you develop the skills, and you become a better boss, but it's you AND your employer who reap the rewards.

So if you're a boss who wants to grow and get better, ask your company to consider sponsoring you into our upcoming Supervisory Essentials program.

If you're interested, it can not hurt to ask. Let us know if we can help.

Thrilled to begin working with the supervisory team at Fiberoptics Technology Inc!

We spent the morning talking shop. What FTI does, who they do it for, how they do it, and the specific contributions the supervisors make along the way.

We talked about challenges the supervisors face and how to address them at their level, as well as how to address them when the solution can only be generated at a higher management level.

By the end of the morning session, the group collectively created a list of the core expectations and related behaviors they believe every member of the FTI has an obligation to meet.

With all the insight gained this morning, REAL Custom Training is now fully equipped to design a comprehensive training program that will help the supervisors achieve their growth goals.

If your organization could use similar support developing its leaders, RCT can help.

Yesterday in a post about Putnam's Beautification Day, I said "Picking up litter is a leadership skill" and I really meant it.

That is just one of many lessons I learned while working for the superintendent of a large vocational school district.

He was the Big Boss of the school system but any time he was walking the school halls and saw a Snickers wrapper or a broken pencil or litter of any kind, he would stop, stoop down, pick up the trash and toss it in the nearest bin.

And if any students had noticed "The Doc" had taken the time to pick up someone else's trash, he'd say something quick and casual and friendly to them like "We gotta take pride in our school!"

A real lead by example type of boss (which is really the only way to do it). And it worked. Students, staff like me, a lot of us got in the same habit of picking up trash regardless of who "should" have picked it up instead.

That's the sort of leadership exemplified by Putnam's Beautification Day. Demonstrating big pride by taking care of little things like litter, regardless of who made the mess :)

P.S. Earl Rosebrooks was jealous of the hot dog costume and used AI to "fix" the photo I posted yesterday. I know I've been railing against AI a lot lately, but I approve of its use in this context 100%

It was a pleasure helping out at the The Putnam Business Association Beautification Day this weekend.

I helped the esteemed Earl Rosebrooks grill and serve hot dogs to the 100+ volunteers when they finished cleaning up around town.

Many thanks to Putnam Price Chopper for donating buns and Nikki's Dog House for donating the dogs!

Did you know picking up litter is a leadership skill?

It's true! I'll explain tomorrow :)
