Presentations

We are often asked to speak to management teams. And then asked back to speak again. The speech or lecture is based on client needs and audience interests. Many presentations become Morrison Associates seminars or further tailored to an organization’s needs. We’ve appeared before management teams ranging in size from 50 to 2500 people. Among the favorites:

  • Pressures on the Manager
  • Making Performance Management Discussions Work for You
  • Managing Joint Responsibilities
  • The People Side of Managing Change
  • Balancing Work, Family, and Self
  • The Distressed Executive

  • Becoming a Trusted Business Advisor
  • Managing Stress
  • Executive Profiles: Highly Successful Executives
  • On Executive Profiling: Leadership Team

Teambuilding

The teambuilding program you request from Morrison Associates will be designed to the issues and goals of your specific team, not a prepackaged product pulled off the shelf. We blend process with education: We design the experience, deliver it, and your team walks out with pragmatic action steps relevant to their goals. But beyond that, they leave with clearer knowledge of their power as a team and how to preserve that power by knowing the constructive and destructive dynamics inherent with all working management teams and their leaders.

Among the concepts that your team will learn:

  • Decision-making
  • Execution
  • Effective communication
  • Direct feedback
  • Establishing Trust
  • Developing a collaborative work environment
  • Knowledge of emotions and how they enhance or undermine teamwork

Leadership Groups

Sometimes an offshoot of teambuilding, Morrison Associates aids in the selection and establishment of a senior group of managers who become the corporate leadership group. Their responsibility is to address the issues of culture, morale, succession, risk, etc. We facilitate each monthly meeting, and are responsible for continuity and integration.
