            <p>As a new manager in the City of Minneapolis, your day can easily get swallowed up by putting out fires. But what if you could catch those sparks before they turn into a blaze? That is exactly what proactive management is all about. Instead of waiting for a formal complaint, a safety incident, or a service failure, you can learn to notice the early warning signs. By paying attention to small changes in your team's dynamics, performance, or daily operations, you can step in early. This approach does not just make your job easier; it builds a stronger, more equitable workplace, supports your team's well-being, and ensures we deliver reliable public service to our community.</p>

<p>To help you get ahead of these issues, this course introduces the SPOT Framework—a practical, step-by-step tool designed specifically for our city's workplaces. You will learn how to <strong>S</strong>pot the gap between what is happening and what should be happening, <strong>P</strong>rioritize the issue by looking at its impact and applying an equity lens, and <strong>O</strong>rganize around it by bringing in the right partners. From there, you will use the two T's: <strong>T</strong>ake the right action—whether that is coaching, process improvement, or accountability—and finally, <strong>T</strong>rack the results to make sure your solution actually worked.</p>

<p>We know that management theory is only helpful if you can actually use it on the job. That is why we will walk through real-world case studies from city departments like Public Works, Community Development, and Health Services. You will see exactly how to apply these steps to everyday challenges like team friction, safety risks, and equity barriers. By the end of this training, you will have a clear plan to handle a real issue in your own department, helping you build trust and lead your team with confidence.</p>
