Webinar On Exemplary Leadership Skills: It's Not Just for the CEO

Overview:

We will discuss why committing to leadership will save time and frustration, contributing to a healthier workplace, based on a consistently proven insight: When individuals are empowered to contribute in analyzing the problem, they will work much harder and smarter at devising and contributing to the solution.

We will explore how valuable it will be to commit each and every day to leadership, because employees and colleagues will observe and practice your actions, not your words.

We will review and assess the countless lessons corporate leaders have learned from both exemplary and poor leadership behavior.

The focus of our programs is experiential. We work with you before, during and after our program to ensure concepts are learned and practiced. Before, we ask you for examples of "real-life" situations, issues and people you are dealing with and for which you might wish help. During, we use as many of your examples as time allows, so you may benefit from peer feedback. Afterward, we work with you and your managers to ensure learning concepts are practiced, so we can measure and verify performance improvement.
