About this event
Worldwide, millions of intelligent, well-educated, experienced professionals are failing for totally predictable and avoidable reasons:
- lack of trusting relationships,
- unclear goals,
- unclear communication, and
- unclear priorities.
The cause is always a failure of leadership. Leadership is not position or title, it’s behaving, communicating and thinking like a leader. Leadership is not a position in an organization chart or a title on a business card. The fastest and easiest way to contribute as a leader is to prevent the most widespread causes of failure.
Primarily, this is a result of:
- F ear of Failure.
- A version to Planning.
- I nstinct for Competition.
- L earned Helplessness.
“Management is not the same as leadership, and a group of people is not the same as a true team.” – Kimberly Wiefling
Commit to A.C.T. like a leader, regardless of position or title, through your Actions, Communication and Thinking. You will leave this workshop able to “lead from any chair” with practical approaches proven effective for individual contributors through senior executives. Come with curiosity and leave with:
- A commitment to a change in your mindset, communication and behavior.
- An experience of the difference between leadership and management.
- A determination NOT to wait ‘til you’re the president to lead.
- A conviction that – without action – “knowing how” is not enough to change results.
- A mindset to apply your learnings and insights to your daily work.
