Synopsis

DISCIPLINE is the one “must-have” element any employee must demonstrate to do well in the job.  Yet, in our experience dealing with line and HR managers, many of them initially cited the following as the key challenges facing them with regards to their subordinates:

1. Lack of competencies
2. Lack of commitment and drive for results
3. Too ambitious (many want to be a CEO when they are 30 years of age)
4. Indiscipline
5. Poor communication skills

When pressed further as to what would be their NUMBER ONE issue, many of them mentioned DISCIPLINE. As we dwelled further, it became very apparent that there are many perspectives and misconceptions about discipline. In fact, there seems to be a mix-up between discipline, misconduct and poor performance and the manner to manage them accordingly.

The brutal reality is that many line managers are not equipped with the competencies to manage discipline. Their actions can range from doing nothing to dismissing the employee immediately or to unconsciously encourage repeated indiscipline. This will have negative consequences on the organisation.

This two-day session uses many real-life examples on how to manage discipline in the appropriate manner so that the interests of the individual, department and the company are protected. The ultimate outcome is that there will be improved productivity at the individual, departmental and corporate levels.
