The Solutions Oriented Leader: A Leadership Training Workshop for Managers
Two immersive days built around one outcome: leaders who stop reacting and start executing. 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, it creates 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, teams slow down, decisions stall, and performance becomes inconsistent.
This is exactly the gap that corporate leadership training is meant to close. The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is grounded in the principles of Rick's best-selling book and built for organizations that are ready to change that. Rather than a seminar, it is a leadership transformation experience that produces leaders who 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
- The core principles of solutions oriented leadership and why blame culture is a performance killer
- Leadership styles for the modern workplace and how to adapt your approach to different team dynamics
- Cultivating emotional intelligence to navigate difficult conversations and build genuine trust
- Aligning vision with action by translating organizational objectives into clear, executable strategies your team can own
Day Two
Applying Solutions Oriented Strategies
- Leading through change and uncertainty by embracing volatility as an opportunity to differentiate your leadership
- Communication and influence frameworks that build trust and drive alignment across teams and departments
- Developing high performance teams through accountability, individual strengths, and shared standards
- Building the habits and systems that sustain solutions oriented leadership long after the workshop ends
The Measurable Results Organizations Book This Workshop For
A Solutions First Decision Framework
Leaders leave with a replicable process for moving from problem identification to solution execution. Because it is built for pressure, the framework works at every level of complexity.
Accountability That Sticks
Rather than hoping people follow through, this replaces that hope with 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 and teams surface problems early enough to solve them.
Change Confidence
Participants leave equipped to lead through organizational change, market volatility, and operational disruption without losing team alignment or execution momentum.
Team Culture Ownership
Because culture is not built by HR, it is built by the behavior modeled every day in every team interaction. Leaders leave with a concrete plan to change it.
Sustainable Leadership Habits
The workshop builds in accountability checkpoints and follow up structures, so the behavior change that starts on day two does not evaporate by the following Monday.
Built for Every Leadership Level
This leadership training workshop meets leaders where they are. As one of the few leadership development workshops built to scale from frontline supervisors through senior executives, the customization ensures the content speaks directly to the challenges your specific audience faces, whether you are a Fortune 500 enterprise or a growing regional organization.
Senior Leaders and C Suite
Set the organizational standard for solutions oriented thinking and build the leadership culture that cascades through every layer below you.
Managers and Supervisors
Because this is the most critical group in any organization, this leadership training for managers and supervisors builds the skills that bridge executive strategy and front line execution.
HR and People Leaders
Develop a scalable leadership development program built on proven frameworks your organization can continue to apply after the workshop ends.

The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop, Answered
If a question about format, audience, or scheduling is still unanswered below, call 954-218-5325 or email rick@rickgoodman.com.
What is the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop?
The Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is a two day leadership training workshop built on the principles of Dr. Rick Goodman's best-selling book. 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. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop runs across two full days, it goes deeper: 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 is built for every leadership level, from first-time managers to senior executives. Since the frameworks scale and the content is customized 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. The workshop is delivered in person, fully virtual, or as a hybrid engagement, so 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, communication habits that build psychological safety, and a concrete plan for changing team culture, since culture is built by daily behavior, not a mission statement.
Is the content customized or the same for every organization?
Every engagement begins with a discovery conversation. Because Dr. Rick Goodman builds the examples, language, and frameworks around each organization's specific challenges and culture, no two workshops are delivered identically.
How long before results from the workshop are measurable?
The workshop builds in accountability checkpoints and follow-up structures so behavior change does not fade after the first Monday back. 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. Because the frameworks are designed to complement Dr. Rick Goodman's other corporate training programs, 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. Unlike a single lecture, it uses interactive exercises and follow-up structures so the skills carry into daily work, not just the training room.
How much does leadership training cost?
Cost depends on group size, duration, and customization scope, since every Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop is built around a discovery conversation rather than a fixed package. Most 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. Because the Solutions Oriented Leader Workshop builds in checkpoints after the session, clients report measurable behavior change months later, not just immediate enthusiasm.
Why is leadership development important for an organization?
Leadership development is important because unresolved leadership gaps show up as inconsistent decisions, stalled accountability, and cultures where people protect themselves instead of executing. Since these problems compound over time, 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, since the frameworks scale to the audience. 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 is structured this way, 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. It is a set of skills, decision-making, accountability, and communication, that develops through deliberate practice and honest feedback, which is exactly what a structured workshop provides instead of leaving development to chance.
Why are leadership skills important for an organization?
Leadership skills are important because they determine whether a team executes consistently or drifts into confusion and blame. Since weak leadership skills compound into missed deadlines, turnover, and stalled decisions, investing in a workshop that builds them directly protects performance across the entire organization, not just at the top.
