Leadership: The Critical Difference
Leadership is one of the most pressing needs of our nation and of our civilization. We need more and better leaders to enable each of us, our organizations and our country, to survive, thrive, and move toward the fulfillment of our inherent possibilities.
Leadership principles have been studied for centuries, and they have remained remarkably consistent throughout written history. However, the scientific management concepts evolving from the industrial revolution through present day have led to confusion in distinguishing leadership from management.
Why Leadership is Critical Over the past two decades, the workplace has changed dramatically. The workforce is filled with people who:
- Think and analyze more than ever
- Are no longer meek, accepting, or grateful for a job
- Want to know what's in it for them in everything they are asked to do
- Want and need to participate, to be involved, to be heard
- Are more expensive, and have more untapped potential than ever before
The leaders we need today are both transaction leaders - those empowered to carry out the functions of management, and transformational leaders - those rare few who break new ground and chart new seas into the future. They are the pathfinders, the visionaries who lead us into areas where no one has ever gone before.
The purpose of this one-day workshop is to give you key ideas that you can use to transition from being a manager to becoming an effective leader. Leadership attributes are clearly defined. The exercises will help you develop a plan to improve yourself as a leader.
