The Mindset of Leadership

People work to live. Work is the place where they spend the majority of their time. And for many, it is an environment which is dysfunctional at best, emotionally debilitating at worst. Only six percent of Americans say that they love their jobs. More than $300 billion, or $7500 per employee, is spent annually in the United States on stress-related compensation claims. Job burnout experienced by 25% to 40% of U.S. workers is the leading occupational disease and responsible for more days lost from work than any other single factor.

This is all very unfortunate because personality conflicts, power struggles, unspoken hidden agendas, misunderstandings, people not feeling appreciated or understood, and turnover all negatively impact a company’s bottom line, as well as robbing people of the aliveness they want at work. With such circumstances, how are companies to plan for and adapt to the many dramatic changes they continue to face?

An organization’s leader must provide that elusive quality called leadership. Most people think that leaders are born rather than made. That simply is not true. Leaders demonstrate an ability, which can be learned, to powerfully speak and listen in a way that engenders hope, confidence, and enthusiasm in the people within the organization.

In this program, you will learn the fine art of leadership and how to create a working environment that nurtures and supports people to be creative, productive and profitable. Topics to be included are

With all of that going on, are there tried and true, timeless, unchanging qualities that if you master, success must follow. The answer is: yes!

So why don't most companies fulfill on their potential? Because we have been taught, as leaders, to believe a number of things that are simply not true. Like if you know the right things to do and do them you'll be successful. Or, if you are really smart and work hard, you'll be successful. Or, it's who you know or just plain luck. None of these things are true. They are all myths. We're looking for downtown Chicago with a street map of Detroit.

In this highly interactive program, attendees will learn what it takes, year in and year out, no matter what is happening in your business world, to have an outrageously successful organization. They will discover that success has very little to do with what you do, what you know and how hard you work. Truly successful leaders understand certain principles and use them to outperform the competition. These will all be discussed. Topics to be covered include:
