Businesses, government agencies, non-profit, and educational organizations need leaders who can effectively navigate complex, changing situations, and get the job done. Leadership is a lifelong journey that starts with the self, building on strengths, and intentionally utilizing them to lead and develop others. Leaders who engage in certain practices create an environment where employees feel motivated and inspired to bring their best to work. Leaders, regardless of position, are essential for all lines of business in an organization, especially since leadership and management go hand in hand. Leadership requires the development and deliberate practice of a series of skills and strategies that focus on self-development, as well as the development of others, both with a focus on organizational success. Unleashing the leadership potential of team members is as important as developing select individuals for leadership positions.
In this webinar, participants will learn strategies that enable them to enlist the cooperation of others, and facilitate the expression of their strongest skills and abilities to achieve organizational success. Main topics covered include: The Changing Landscape of Business and Leadership, The Essential Attributes of Leadership, The Self as the Foundation of Successful Leadership, and Leadership Practices in Motion.
