PYGMALION EFFECT, MANAGING THE POWER OF EXPECTATIONS

It's a fact. Limited expectations bring limited results, high expectations lead to exceptional results. The phenomenon is known as the Pygmalion Effect and it has been documented numerous times in both business and education.

The good news is that you can teach your managers how to create the positive results of the Pygmalion Effect with their employees, improving productivity and morale in the process. Pygmalion Effect training program clearly illustrates that the way we view subordinates can completely change the outcome of any given project.

In the video, trainees get a complete overview of the Pygmalion Effect through real-life examples, dramatic vignettes and scenes from the classic movie "Pygmalion" where individuals are transformed through the positive (or negative) expectations of another. The four ways managers transmit expectations to their subordinates-climate, feedback, input, output and expressing appreciation-are also depicted.

This information, along with exercises contained in the program's expanded Leader's Guide and Participant Workbook, teaches your managers to:

• Understand how positive/negative expectations create self-fulfilling prophecies
• Develop the skills to positively influence coworkers and subordinates
• Raise the expectations they have for their staff members
• Believe more in their own ability to positively influence and lead others
