Workshop Overview
In developing effective leaders in today’s rapidly changing world, developing perspective and focus is critical to a leader’s long-term success. Focus in many organizations is directed toward immediate performance goals and not necessarily inclusive of longer-term individual leadership development goals. Regardless of tenure in leadership roles, focusing on heightened self-awareness helps leaders leverage their natural strengths and find ways to address their developmental areas in a positive, productive way. In turn, enhanced self-awareness gained through perspective-building tools helps leaders understand and adapt their behaviors to rapidly changing circumstances and develop effective strategies for leading their associates.
Participants Will Learn How To:
- Describe and define the personal attributes of successful leaders (e.g., effective communication, influencing others, emotional intelligence, driving for results, thinking strategically, problem-solving, etc.)
- Personalize a “leadership vision” and link it to their personal and organizational mission, vision, and values
- Understand key leadership success factors and potential leadership career derailers
- Gain insight relative to leadership preferences using assessments such as Personality Type (Big Five), Influence strategies (PVQ), and Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) philosophy
- Solve problems and solve people issues with leadership tactics
- Identify areas for improvement and set developmental goals for forward action
