What Outstanding Leaders Do - and why many Corporate Leadership Programs Fail

Overview:

Most organizations' workers cite lack of good leadership as a key area for improvement. Weak leadership causes a number of other problems, such as uncertainty among the staff, a culture of blame instead of accountability, frequent changes in directions, a low innovation rate, and a lack of communality. At the end of the day, organizations with weak leadership face higher business risks, slower growth, and lower profitability than those that have excellent leadership in place.

Even if most CEOs and HR Directors recognize this issue, many leadership programs fall short because they focus too much on methods and too little on root causes of poor leadership. Even worse, most small and midsize businesses have no serious leadership program in place at all.

In this webinar, we suggest a different paradigm for leadership in organizations which focuses primarily on individual mindsets, behaviors, and habits of leaders who stand out. A great leadership culture in any organization is rooted in the belief that every employee starts with excellent leadership for themselves, no matter if they lead people or not.

We will provide powerful tools to ignite this "grassroots movement" for better leadership and guide you through the process to implement it in your business.

As a result, you will have a leadership development framework applicable to all kinds and sizes of organizations that avoids the common pitfalls of "traditional" leadership programs which start "from the top."

Why should you attend: In brief, you should attend this webinar if you see a potential for better leadership in your organization with an effect on overall business performance.
