I created and facilitated a one-day workshop called “Partnerships That Work”.  This class was designed for Apartment Community Managers and their Assistants and focused on synergy, teamwork, and delegation.  Our challenge and reason for needing such a workshop was that Assistants either felt as though they were not being trusted with enough to do while other felt as though the Manager was dumping their responsibilities on them.  This workshop was a way to explore how to achieve a balance where everyone felt vested in achieving their common goals.

Attached is the outline for the workshop along with the invitation sent to the participants who were selected by their Regional Managers.  It was an amazing day and based on our survey, everyone felt as though they learned something.  We have decided to expand this workshop to our Texas and Florida markets beginning 1st quarter, 2009.
