Just thought I would give you all an update on the pilot. We sent out an
annoucement last night "water dropping" the classes and inviting others to participate. As of 10:00 this morning, most classes were filled and a waiting list was developing. Several observations: most people were signing up for 1-2 classes, so the decision to run these in half-day increments was a good choice on your part the fact that there is already a waiting list after two hours shows the pent-up demand for this type of skill building program the skills you have targeted were right on. That is not to say there are not other ones that are needed, but clearly these first ones are needed If you have a couple of folks you want to fit in and did not get time to get those to us, please give me a call or send me an e-mail and I will get them in. Gracie and Janice are overwhelmed by Ernie calls that have been extremely heavy these past two days. I think I can pull some strings for you all! Again, just thought I would keep you posted and thought you might want to pat yourself on the back for some great work and great choices - From: Susan Runkel 01/18/2000 01:28 PM To: Sheila Glover/HOU/ECT@ECT, Brent A Price/HOU/ECT@ECT, Leslie Reeves/HOU/ECT@ECT, Stephen P Schwarz/HOU/ECT@ECT cc: Gary Buck/HOU/ECT@ECT, Norma Villarreal/HOU/ECT@ECT, Sally Beck/HOU/ECT@ECT, Gracie S Presas/HOU/ECT@ECT, Janice Riedel/HOU/ECT@ECT Subject: Leadership Development Progress Thank you again for participating in the Leadership Development vendor selection process in December. Based on the decisions we made at the meeting, we are ready to conduct a pilot February 8-10 of six modules from Wilson Learning Corporation. The purpose of the pilot is to evaluate Wilson Learning materials and facilitators and present a portion of the Leadership curriculum. We will also pilot the communications module for non-supervisory employees. We ask that you invite 1-2 managers from your group to participate and evaluate the modules. Participants should plan to complete a minimum of two modules. In addition, you are invited to participate in as many as you would like. We are also opening this pilot to managers throughout ENA to ensure that the material adapts well We are currently completing the curriculum design and plan to have information available in February. As you may remember these are the decisions we reached at the meeting in December: * Use Southwest Performance Group (SWP)and Wilson Learning products as our primary vendor and Achieve Global as a secondary. * Create an Enron faculty of outside facilitators that meet our specified requirements. * Ensure that the skills in our curriculum are matched to different levels of manager. * Ensure that we incorporate data available from consultants currently working with Energy Operations * Incorporate current Enron course offerings into ENA curriculum Attached for your review are: * Facilitator Profile * Curriculum Table - mapping skills to courses Descriptions of each module are also attached for your review The following are half-day sessions. Supervisors may sign up for any or all depending on their need. It would be helpful if supervisors attend a minimum of two modules. We need to have a minimum of 9 participants for the course to be effective. As an added bonus, I will cover the cost of attending the pilot. (As you may remember, cost for attending programs in 2000 will be charged back to the business unit) Date Module Time Target Audience Feb. 8 Meeting Leadership Challenges 8-12 am Supervisors with less than 6 months experience Working Styles 1-5 pm Any supervisor Feb. 9 Coaching To Performance 8-12 am Any supervisor Motivating For Results 1-5 pm Any supervisor Feb. 10 Communicating Effectively 8-12 am Any employee Delegating and Directing 1-5 pm Any supervisor Other details: * Sessions will be held in Room 560. * Participants should plan to attend a minimum of two sessions. * Please call Gracie Presas to register by February 1. * Descriptions of each module are provided in the attachment.
