DESCRIPTION:


This workshop teaches managers how to become leaders--that seemingly elusive skill that does NOT come naturally to most people. Today's overextended manager feels caught in a complex web between customer concerns, those above them, and those below them. Many lose faith that they can make a real "difference" and ultimately decide that achieving their vision really won't ever happen. As a result, many tired, weary managers simply abandon thoughts of greatness in order to follow the latest strategic initiative that doesn't make much more sense than the last one they felt pressured to support. Unfortunately, this is not overly dismal--it is reality for today's highly stressed manager.

Leadership can absolutely help improve the quality of a manager's life--if you learn HOW to lead. Leadership makes the job of managing people, process, and performance rewarding and fulfilling. When you become a leader, half the effort involved in managing others is eliminated altogether. Unfortunately, there's more mythology, misdirection, and academic nonsense about leadership than about most business subjects. This workshop debunks the concept of leadership. It will show you exactly how to be a leader and why it is so important to LEAD. This program focuses on tactics that work immediately to get managers the benefits that only leaders enjoy. This workshop motivates managers to become the leaders they have always wanted to be but didn't know how to be.

Your company will be most successful when your managers make an emotional commitment to leadership. That emotional commitment won't happen unless your managers believe that there is more benefit and purpose to their work than simply following the latest strategy de jour and enriching shareholders. This workshop is highly interactive with plenty of group and individual participation, highly empathic to the real world of today's manager and generally irreverent about everything but developing the leader in you.

  • Learn how to motivate your people to listen; your communication will influence people's judgments and actions
