Energize Your Managers This Summer To Do More With Less

Energize Your Managers This Summer To Do More With Less

Seasoned veterans share their secrets and techniques in BridgeFront's new educational series.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) July 20, 2010

BridgeFront, an online education firm, announces Tuesday its newly released Leadership Development and Managerial Skills educational training courses. Courses include topics such as coaching, generational differences, performance issues, delegation and harassment in the workplace. BridgeFront's comprehensive leadership library is designed to boost organizational leadership skills and competencies, allowing management to achieve more-with-less resources.

"I just finished my training yesterday and thought it was one of the most interesting and informative training I’ve had in quite awhile," said Cheryl Sherlock of Kaiser Permanente. "It kept my interest and gave me a fantastic outlook on the processes I need to understand."

Over the past six months, top experts have joined BridgeFront to author its newly released leadership and management skills library. One of the course authors is Gaylyn Sher-Jan, the founder and President of OnCourse Group, Inc., an innovative management and human capital consulting firm.

"Behind every good leader is a foundation of skills they have worked to develop and hone," says Gaylyn Sher-Jan, who has coaching executives for the past 12 years. "We are making those skills simple to understand, practice, and adopt so every person in a leadership position and their organization can benefit."

In addition to its leadership education, BridgeFront encourages organizations to consider its 'Communication with Customers' library. This library offers 15 online courses on everything from how to handle the irate customer, to listening and questioning techniques. Organizations can choose from the entry level or intermediate level courses that range in length from a quick 30 to 45 minutes.

"Effective communication with customers and employees is an essential skill for all managers," says Kent Lane, COO of BridgeFront. "That's why we encourage organizations to begin with our communication skills courses. After these foundational skills are accomplished, then management can focus on developing competencies in other leadership skills like performance management and task delegation."

A sample demonstration course from our leadership skills library is available from the BridgeFront. com web site. These courses include engaging audio, scenario-based review questions, a post-test, a 'Certificate of Mastery,' and extensive administrative monitoring features. BridgeFront's courses are accessible online for a full year.
