 MOVING
UP TO MANAGEMENT:
LEADERSHIP AND MANAGEMENT SKILLS FOR CAREGIVERS
HELPS NURSES BECOME EFFECTIVE LEADERS.
Highly competent licensed nurses are the ones most often promoted to
management positions. Because they are excellent as caregivers they are
rewarded by promotion to supervisor. Unfortunately, they rarely receive
enough in-depth management training to enable them to be successful at
this new position. This leaves a large number of those in leadership
positions with few skills in the area of people management.
Because providing excellent care and leading are two very different
functions, a successful leader/manager starts by gaining an
understanding of what leadership and management are about. Then it's a
matter of working with fundamental principles and improving skills such
as the ability to listen and communicate, resolve conflict, lead by
example, build a team, and motivate others.
Along the way new supervisors also learn more about the person she or he
is, and how to enhance their unique qualities and incorporate them into
their leadership role.

Benefits To All
The best investment Skilled Nursing Facilities can make is to provide
in-depth management training and Coaching for their nurse managers. It
is the number one defense against attrition, low productivity and
declining morale. Such training is an investment that can reap emotional
benefits for your staff and residents, which will translate to financial
benefits for your organization.
Moving up to Management is available for $60.00, plus shipping
and handling.
The package includes book, DVD, test and CEUs*
The 15-minute high quality DVD depicts three scenarios that are often
found in healthcare settings. Each scenario shows the supervisor
handling everyday challenges in an inappropriate way, provides
discussion about the situation, and then depicts the appropriate way for
the supervisor to deal with the problem.

"Moving Up To Management is an excellent tool to navigate the
steep learning curve between line-staff and supervision. If used early
in the transition to management, both the employee and the company will
benefit and many potential pitfalls will be avoided. It's an excellent
adjunct to training programs!!"
Patricia Kauffman, Exec. V.P. Health & Associated Services
Pacific Retirement Services Medford, OR
"Wow! Moving Up To
Management is a much-needed resource for the ever-changing roles in
Healthcare today. It's an interactive tool that will help new managers
define their role as a leader or manager and help the experienced leader
guide their new protégée into that role. The workbook format works great
for those advancing from line-staff to management, as well as giving
insight to the immediate supervisors on handling their subordinates."
"This is a valuable tool that is a long time in coming. It is clearly
written and easy to understand, with great examples. I especially like
the workbook format for learning. I wish I had had this resource when I
advanced into my first management position. It would have made the
transition so much smoother. I am looking forward to using this with my
new management staff."
Suzanne Moon, RN, DNS Trinity Terrace Ft. Worth, Texas
"In the past it has
been difficult to transition our caring field staff into administrative
staff. Moving Up To Management has allowed us a kind, caring,
common sense approach to training, and our trainers love it! I wish to
thank Sandy and Jan for recognizing a need and filling it with a
well-thought-out tool."
Carrie Governor, President Caregiver Services Medford, Oregon
"Moving Up To
Management is an excellent resource for the newly promoted manager,
as well as a great review for the seasoned manager. This isn't just one
of those "how-to" books. This book walks the reader down a personal life
path to discover his/her own portrait of leadership."
Tamara Nordine, Vice President of Human Resources
Pacific Retirement Services Medford, Oregon

 SELF-ESTEEM: AN INSIDE JOB
REDISCOVERING THE SPECIAL PERSON YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN.
Positive self-esteem is the cornerstone of a healthy, happy, productive
life. With this in mind we have written Self-Esteem: An Inside Job,
to assist you in the process of becoming aware of and improving your
level of self-esteem. The book is designed to provide guidance for
personal growth and development, and to lead you on a self-discovery
journey. By looking at life, beginning with childhood and continuing
through adolescence to adulthood, you will start to see where you came
from, and why you currently think, feel and behave as you do. This leads
to exploration of how to grow and change, if change is desired.
The book is written with a minimum of theory and a maximum of
opportunities for the reader’s own self-exploration. Since people learn
and retain more when the lesson is personalized, the experiential
exercises and workbook format are the most appropriate and expedient for
gaining self-knowledge and accomplishing desired change.
Self-Esteem, An Inside Job, is available for $25.00, plus shipping
and handling.

The Self Esteem-An Inside Job workbook has been a valuable and
stimulating resource for the participants of the Ministry for the
Separated & Divorced Support Group. As the current facilitator, I found
your workbook to be beneficial to me personally, and I use it
exclusively to structure our 14 week Self-Esteem course.
Your workbook gives our participants the opportunity to explore the
different facets of who they are, gain a deeper awareness of their
identity and what influences their life choices, before they enter into
a new relationship.
Thank you for creating Self Esteem-an Inside Job and making it
available to those of us who desire to understand how our self esteem
impacts every aspect of our lives.
Sincerely,
Debbie Dill, Facilitator
Ministry for the Separated and Divorced. |
