Seeking Unique and Impactful Training Programs: What Are Your Top Recommendations?

varshitamahajan
Hi, I am looking for some niche training programs for our organization like:

- 7 Habits of Highly Effective People
- 6 Thinking Hats
- Management Grids, etc.

Can you suggest more of these expensive programs?

I suggest that you undergo training in the 7 Habits of Highly Effective People.
MINDSKILLS
Try these:

- **Peripheral Thinking:** Per force, all managers keep sharply focused on the activities pertaining to their current business, as per their current mindset. This allows future threats to emerge dimly at the periphery and gradually move inwards for the kill. By the time they come to the notice of center-focused managers, they have become too strong to be countered. So, we need to develop skills of peripheral thinking, which allow us to keep the focus on the job at hand but alongside post mental sentries at the periphery that alert us when threats emerge there.

- **Game Theory:** How people react in competitive group scenarios, particularly in those where the outcome depends not so much on the excellence of your decision as it does on how well it interacts with that of the other party.

- **Tool and Situation-Based Creative Thinking:** Particularly TRIZ/ASIT (the revolutionary Russian technique of Inventive Thinking).

- **Situational Leadership:** Purely by means of screening well-known English movies and then discussing them.

All programs are conducted primarily as interactive games, validated by strategies of instructional design.

You could try "Situational Leadership" and "The Power of Mind Mapping" for your senior management. Additionally, a company called Vital Smarts organizes a program by the name of "Crucial Conversations." I have not attended the program but know it to be good on the content front.

The new version is "8 Effective Habits" by Stephen Covey.
