Creating High Performance Organizations Through Effective Leadership
The single most important factor and first step in transforming an organization to high performance is to transform the people in charge from a "managerial" to a "leadership" mindset:
Do your people know the difference between management and leadership?
Are they aware of their own managerial and leadership styles, skills, and abilities?
Do they understand the techniques that can be used to empower employees and establish ownership at all levels of the organization?
Have they developed the interpersonal skills to effectively manage conflict, motivate and lead people?
Can they manage change in a fast-paced, complex environment?
Can they apply structured and rational approaches to problem solving and project management?
Are they team players?
Do they know how to tap the creative resources of the entire organization for better solutions?
These and other critical leadership concepts and techniques are addressed in this two-day course. The course is designed to make each participant aware of their own management and leadership styles, and discuss the many cutting-edge options and techniques that are available to them to improve their own leadership effectiveness and departmental performance. The course has an excellent blend of lecture and workshop to ensure that all techniques learned are immediately applied and reinforced with hands-on examples.
