It’s Happening at Chinook Winds ...
by Teresa Simmons
Managers Learn to Create,
Better Teams
In January, Chinook Winds
embarked on a progressive, formalized,
strategic effort involving management
and leadership development, and
mentorship and protege development.
Collyn L. DeNio, Triumph
Consulting of Colorado, in conjunction
with John Bradford of Bradford
Solution Inc., was hired to help develop
and implement this strategic initiative.
The 60-hour mandatory course
offered to all directors and managers
ran over a three-month period, four
hours a day or 20 hours for one week
of each month.
During
those
60
hours,
management team members were
instructed on how to be more effective
team leaders. The course taught
managers and directors how to
effectively and appropriately work with
staff and how to logically evaluate team
members’ performance. Successful
implementation of work strategies was
taught, as well as proper analysis of
controversy. They also had to
demonstrate team-building skills.

The final session was Chinook
Winds’ answer to Survivor. Each team
was given four planks with which to
build a bridge suspended by cement
