Responsive Management Systems® is an organizational development firm
specializing in line-level and mid-level leader development and team performance training and troubleshooting
(Projects). The
founder of Responsive Management Systems®, Richard L. Baron,
has 41 years of continuous supervision, management
and consultation
experience. His research in the areas of management training and
organizational change and development has been presented nationally and published in professional journals.
Since starting Responsive Management Systems® in 1985, Mr. Baron has
provided integrated leadership consultation and applied learning opportunities to
leaders in the profit, non-profit and government sectors nationally and internationally (Projects). These consultation
and learning activities have focused on management-employee collaboration strategies,
practical performance evaluation and quality measurement, rebuilding work teams, employee and organizational
performance assessment,
training needs assessment, and organizational quality improvement
strategies. He conducts 150 days of skills-based learning,
conflict intervention, project facilitation
and team refocusing a year. The applied instructional
methodology for learning includes didactic instruction (30%), live behavioral modeling of
skills (35%), and participant rehearsal with instructional feedback (35%).
Mr. Baron has developed specialized participant
Learning
and Instructional Products
to enhance and encourage the application of consulting, coaching or training information
at the participant's work-site. The most thought provoking and
interactive is Catalyst®. The most popular is a mini-manual titled
Skill Check®. (1994...2013) and the
Pocket Prompt® (2006...2013). An
"icebreaker" quote kit used to make name tents for activity participants titled
In Other Words® (1995,
2003) is also a favorite.
In addition, he has developed, administered and coached a number of employee and
organizational assessment instruments and processes including Responsive
Management: S3®: Leadership Development Survey (1986,
and computerized versions 1999 V1.0...2014 V3.0 Build 18.1). In 1993, he formally introduced the 70% effective Life-Line designed to
intervene with small non-productive and sometimes destructive work groups.
His semi-annual
presentation of open enrollment Responsive Management: Line-Level Leadership®
Public Seminars for leaders in engineering, technical, financial and clinical
professions have been well attended since they began in 1997 (see
Open Enrollment Seminars and
Satisfaction).
