It is Monday morning and as usual you are sorting through your “to do” list for the week. Today, you need to plan the weekly team meeting, set expectations with a new employee, manage a delicate client situation and to top it all off, diffuse the conflict between the marketing and sales departments. Week after week you seem to run the same team meetings, do you ever wonder if there is a better way

to organize a meeting so it’s fun and engaging, a better approach to setting clear expectations with new employees? Is there a more sustainable or effective practice to restore harmony between Sales and Marketing? Or a better technique to turn around and save a critical client relationship that has been jeopardized by poor project ex*****on, miscommunication or contract changes. Whether you are a new manager or a senior manager, the 9am Monday online video library provides tools that help you focus and continually optimize the skills you need to get the right work done.
