Program Description
Leadership is a behavioral process that begins with the leaders themselves. The most effective leaders understand how their own unique personal characteristics can contribute to their effectiveness and can use this awareness to adjust their behavior and influence others.
This program is designed to help participants develop a deeper understanding of how their own unique characteristics shape their leadership potential. It will boost experienced leaders who want to gain insight into their own behavior and reach the next level of leader effectiveness. Participants who have not had extensive leadership experience will benefit from learning about their leadership profile and its implications for their effectiveness as leaders. The content may facilitate career choices as well as implementation of new leadership strategies.
Before and during the workshop, participants will complete a number of practical assessments. Further instruction will assist participants in interpreting the results of these assessments and using them to initiate a leadership development plan intended to help them move toward maximum impact as leaders or future leaders. Fortune 500 companies have invested heavily in this type of process to accelerate the development of their own managers and executives. The program will use tools and techniques whose effectiveness has been proven by leading business and consulting organizations in the development of their own business leaders and/or those of their clients. Findings from cutting-edge management and psychological research on leadership and management will also be incorporated.
- Understand the personal characteristics associated with effective (and ineffective) leadership and the leadership implications of their own personality types
- Gain insight into how personal strengths can actually become obstacles to effective leadership and limit one's impact as a leader
- Achieve a clearer appreciation of their own strengths and limitations as leaders and how to handle personal opportunities and challenges
- Get recommendations for how to adjust their own behavior in order to exert a more positive influence on those they lead
- Learn how their leadership characteristics are perceived by others
- Initiate a leadership development plan to become more effective leaders
Who Should Attend:
- The emphasis on individual feedback and development makes this program ideal both for inexperienced and experienced leaders. This approach is especially beneficial for individuals who have not previously received leadership assessments in other settings.
