Summary
As a business owner or manager, do you ever find yourself dealing with an employee whose bad attitude negatively affects your profitability?

Are you concerned that a few bad attitudes will pull your entire team down?

Do you ever feel like things are spinning out of control because of a few employees who need an attitude adjustment?

Are you prepared to pay the high cost of low morale if you choose to do nothing?

If you answered "yes" to any of the questions above - or if you simply want to sharpen your leadership skills - you should take part in Kiplinger's latest 90-minute interactive audio conference on June 22, 2010. Business owner and noted management training expert Carol Hacker will reveal dozens of proven-effective, practical real-world strategies you can put to work immediately to make the attitude cases on your staff straighten up and fly right in a hurry, including how to:

* Identify the causes of negativity that prevent your employees from reaching their full potential -- and hurt your bottom line,
* Quickly help negative employees take the critical first step in acknowledging their bad attitude is definitely a problem,
* Muster the self-confidence and fortitude necessary to raise the issue directly and face down a problem employee,
* Deliver corrective feedback that will get your employee's attention without turning them off to what you have to say,
* Use a special "behavior blindness" technique to help employees own up to -- and overcome -- their bad attitude, without embarrassing or humiliating them,
* Implement a performance-based plan to measure improvement in an employee's attitude -- along with a checklist of consequences for failure to improve,
* Catch employees doing something right -- rather than only looking for something wrong -- and use positive reinforcement to keep employees on track,
* Carefully document the entire process to protect yourself and your business from a charge of unfair discipline or wrongful termination,
* And much more.
