Interactive One-Day Workshop

Effective Leadership – Making the Most of Your Style to Lead Strategically

Leadership is different than management.  Leadership is required to set a company on the right path by developing a bold and clear vision, aligning key resources to create a plan to support the vision, and then executing the plan to achieve the vision. You have a leadership style you use every day whether you realize it or not.  Is it as effective as you want it to be, or would you like to improve as a leader? 

This one-day workshop provides you with a straightforward three part model for achieving the results you should be achieving as a leader. Prior to the workshop you will complete a leadership assessment that will be reviewed in detail in the workshop.  You will also identify the areas that you believe you need to improve on as a leader.  Using the assessment, and your inputs, the workshop contents will be adjusted to provide hands-on exercises to help you improve as a leader.  At the end of the day, you will have developed a practical action plan to help you achieve your leadership goals, reduce your personal stress, and improve the organization you work for.
