I'm running a two day course at the Johannesburg Chamber of Commerce on 2nd and 3rd November 2017 on Effective Discipline (A Management Tool)
This two day course is intended for all managers or supervisors who need to deal with poor performance or misconduct. It is also highly recommended for labour representatives, shop stewards and union officials and could also benefit legal practitioners needing a practical view of discipline to complement a strict legal perspective. 
Guides, checklists and role plays help make it easy for participants to put the knowledge and skills gained into practice.  
After completion of this course participants will be able to:

• Distinguish between poor performance and misconduct
• Distinguish between incapacity, incompetence and incompatibility
• Identify and respond to different levels of performance
• Counsel poor performers
• Set, measure, monitor and review performance standards
• Identify when poor performance becomes a category of misconduct
• Investigate an alleged offence effectively, to collect the evidence
• Distinguish between evidence and proof
• Decide on discipline or alternative action to follow
• Understand evaluate and use different types of evidence
• Frame appropriate charges for a disciplinary hearing
• Lead a case and present evidence
• Follow and use the basic disciplinary hearing steps
