The Solutions Oriented Leader: A Leadership Training Workshop for Managers
Two immersive days built around one outcome: leaders who stop reacting and start executing. More importantly, this leadership training workshop, Dr. Rick Goodman's Solutions Oriented Leader program, replaces blame culture with accountability, equips leaders with a decision-making framework that holds under pressure, and produces measurable behavior change that lasts.
Most Organizations Do Not Have a Talent Problem. They Have a Leadership Alignment Problem.
When leaders default to blame instead of solutions, they create a culture where people protect themselves instead of executing. As a result, accountability becomes a word in the mission statement instead of a daily operating standard. Consequently, teams slow down, decisions stall, and performance becomes inconsistent.
This is exactly the gap that corporate leadership training closes. In fact, the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop draws on the principles of Rick's best-selling book and serves organizations that are ready to change that. Rather than a seminar, it is a leadership transformation experience. As a result, leaders learn to own outcomes, build solutions-focused teams, and execute with clarity regardless of what the environment throws at them.
Two Days. One Leadership Training Workshop.
Day One
Building the Solutions Oriented Mindset
- First, the core principles of solutions oriented leadership and why blame culture is a performance killer
- Next, leadership styles for the modern workplace and how to adapt your approach to different team dynamics
- In addition, cultivating emotional intelligence to navigate difficult conversations and build genuine trust
- Finally, aligning vision with action by translating organizational objectives into clear, executable strategies your team can own
Day Two
Applying Solutions Oriented Strategies
- First, leading through change and uncertainty by embracing volatility as an opportunity to differentiate your leadership
- Next, communication and influence frameworks that build trust and drive alignment across teams and departments
- In addition, developing high performance teams through accountability, individual strengths, and shared standards
- Finally, building the habits and systems that sustain solutions oriented leadership long after the workshop ends
The Measurable Results This Leadership Training Delivers
A Solutions First Decision Framework
Leaders leave with a replicable process for moving from problem identification to solution execution. More importantly, the framework works under pressure and at every level of complexity.
Accountability That Sticks
Rather than hoping people follow through, leaders use structures that make accountability the default. As a result, teams deliver because the system supports it.
Communication That Builds Trust
Leaders develop the language and habits that create psychological safety. Consequently, defensive behavior drops. In turn, teams surface problems early enough to solve them.
Change Confidence
In addition, participants leave equipped to lead through organizational change, market volatility, and operational disruption without losing team alignment or execution momentum.
Team Culture Ownership
Because HR does not build culture alone, leaders shape it through the behavior they model every day in every team interaction. Therefore, participants leave with a concrete plan to change it.
Sustainable Leadership Habits
The workshop includes accountability checkpoints and follow up structures. As a result, the behavior change that starts on day two does not evaporate by the following Monday.

What is the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop?
The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is a two day leadership training workshop based on the principles of Dr. Rick Goodman's best-selling book. In practice, the program turns those principles into repeatable leadership behaviors. More importantly, it replaces blame culture with accountability and gives leaders a decision-making framework that holds up under real pressure, not just in the training room.
How is a leadership workshop different from a leadership keynote?
A keynote is a high-energy presentation, typically 45 to 90 minutes, that plants the seed of a new mindset. By contrast, the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop runs across two full days and goes deeper. As a result, interactive exercises, role plays, and group discussion produce measurable behavior change rather than a single moment of inspiration.
Who should attend the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop?
The workshop serves every leadership level, from first-time managers to senior executives. For example, the same core framework can be adapted to different levels of responsibility. Because the frameworks scale and Rick customizes the content to the audience, mid-level managers, HR and people leaders, and C-suite executives all get material relevant to their specific challenges.
Is the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop available virtually?
Yes. In addition, Rick can deliver the workshop in person, fully virtual, or as a hybrid engagement. Therefore, distributed leadership teams get the same two-day framework and outcomes regardless of location.
What specific outcomes does an organization get from this workshop?
Organizations get a documented solutions-first decision framework, accountability structures that hold after the training ends, and communication habits that build psychological safety. In addition, they leave with a concrete plan for changing team culture, since daily behavior builds culture, not a mission statement.
Is the content customized or the same for every organization?
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation. From there, Rick shapes the program around the organization's real priorities. Because Dr. Rick Goodman builds the examples, language, and frameworks around each organization's specific challenges and culture, no two workshops look exactly the same.
How long before results from the workshop are measurable?
The workshop includes accountability checkpoints and follow-up structures so behavior change does not fade after the first Monday back. As a result, many organizations report measurable shifts in communication and decision-making within the first quarter following the engagement.
Can this workshop be combined with other corporate training programs?
Yes. In addition, the frameworks complement Dr. Rick Goodman's other corporate training programs. Therefore, many organizations pair the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop with a session such as Dealing with Difficult People or Communication Mastery to build a full-day or multi-day leadership event.
What is corporate leadership training?
Corporate leadership training is a structured program that builds decision-making, communication, and accountability skills in an organization's managers and executives. In other words, it turns leadership concepts into practical operating habits. Unlike a single lecture, it uses interactive exercises and follow-up structures. As a result, the skills carry into daily work, not just the training room.
How much does leadership training cost?
In practice, cost depends on group size, duration, and customization scope, since every Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop starts with a discovery conversation rather than a fixed package. Often, organizations find that a single well-executed engagement pays for itself through reduced turnover and faster decision-making.
How effective is leadership training?
Leadership training is most effective when it includes practical exercises, accountability follow-up, and content customized to the organization rather than a generic lecture. For that reason, the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop includes checkpoints after the session. As a result, clients report measurable behavior change months later, not just immediate enthusiasm.
Why is leadership development important for an organization?
More importantly, leadership development is important because unresolved leadership gaps show up as inconsistent decisions, stalled accountability, and cultures where people protect themselves instead of executing. Over time, these problems compound. Therefore, addressing them directly prevents far more expensive turnover and performance issues later.
Is this leadership training designed for managers and supervisors, or only senior executives?
Both. The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop works as leadership training for managers and supervisors as much as it does for senior executives because the frameworks scale to the audience. For example, frontline supervisors get practical accountability tools, while executives get the strategic decision-making framework, all from the same two-day program.
Does leadership training actually work?
It works when it includes practical exercises, follow-up accountability, and content built around real challenges rather than generic theory. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop follows this structure, clients report measurable shifts in communication and decision-making months after the session, not just a temporary boost in morale.
Can leadership be taught?
Yes. Leadership is not a fixed trait some people have and others do not. Instead, it is a set of skills involving decision-making, accountability, and communication. Through deliberate practice and honest feedback, those skills develop, which is exactly what a structured workshop provides instead of leaving development to chance.
Why are leadership skills important for an organization?
Ultimately, leadership skills are important because they determine whether a team executes consistently or drifts into confusion and blame. Over time, weak leadership skills compound into missed deadlines, turnover, and stalled decisions. Therefore, investing in a workshop that builds them directly protects performance across the entire organization, not just at the top.
