Explore the qualities of effective
leadership, both strategic and tactical, to create a high-performance
work environment
More books have been written about leadership than
any other business topic, yet the characteristics of an effective leader
remain elusive. Leaders rarely have the time to reflect on what makes a
good leader. Their busy schedules make it difficult to effectively set
values and direction, stay personally involved in performance
improvement, promote personal and organizational learning, and
continuously improve leadership in their organizations.
As a result, organizations struggle to break old
leadership habits that are keeping them from achieving their goals.
This workshop will help leaders at any level of an
organization identify the qualities of effective leadership and how to
nurture those qualities among themselves and other leaders in their
organization. Through proven tools and techniques and the best practices
of dozens of world-class companies, it will show how visionary
leadership can dramatically improve performance by:
- Embracing new leadership competencies for the new millennium
- Gaining alignment through shared vision, values, and directions
- Being personally involved in those ongoing activities that support
the vision
- Creating a high-performance work environment where empowerment and
innovation thrive
- Improving communication throughout the organization
- Conducting effective performance reviews
- Translating reviews into action
- Establishing an effective leadership model
In addition, the workshop will focus on the
qualities of corporate citizenship, public responsibility, and
environmental protection. It will provide proven approaches for
identifying and supporting key communities by getting everyone involved.
The workshop will also address regulatory, legal, and ethical issues and
offer strategies for anticipating, measuring, and improving performance
in these areas.
Participants in the workshop will:
- Benchmark the leadership practices of high-performing companies
- Gain expertise in proven approaches to becoming a more effective
leader
- Learn how to implement an effective leadership model
- Understand how to address key issues of corporate citizenship and
social responsibility
At the conclusion of the workshop you will be able
to assess the effectiveness of your organization’s current leadership
model, identify key areas to improve, and initiate actions that will
help develop effective, visionary leaders throughout the organization.
