Men & Women at Work: Strategies for the Total Team

Do men or women make better managers? How do men rate women managers? The answers may surprise you. Mancusi cites a recent study that demonstrates that women managers are more effective in 28 of 31 management traits - and most of the raters were men!! Both men and women can be equally successful at the same job. They achieve their success often by using different management styles. The key to team productivity is identifying the best management style for each individual.

Dr. Mancusi leads each group through exercises to recognize the differing management styles they may use. Groups work to identify where those styles can best be utilized in your organization. Recreate your teams and work together to develop excellence. Mancusi teaches that it is important to treat each person as a minority group of one.

This program promotes understanding of everyone’s different styles to build teams, teach group skills, and promote cooperation among all people in different work areas. It is ideal for general audiences, managers, and intact work groups. It is usually presented in a four to six hour workshop. Some topics taught are:

	Group Competition and Cooperation Processes
	Time Efficient Group Meetings
	Effective Group Leadership Styles
	Team Decision Making
	Communication Skills Training
	Enhancing Creativity
	Negotiating Strategies
