Achieving Your Leadership Potential
Overview
According to
surveys of CEOs and HR managers, effective leadership is a competitive
advantage for
their organizations. Unfortunately, these same surveys show that
people at all organizational levels
lack confidence in their leaders, and in the ability of their organizations
to develop good leaders.
This course bridges the widening gap between what is needed and
required of today's leaders. A three step process "Diagnose,
Plan, and Execute' helps learners stretch their capabilities and
accelerate their leadership development.
Objectives
Helps leaders:
- Define the scope of leadership development and potential.
- Link their development to personal satisfaction and the organization?s goals, values, and strategic direction.
- Use various sources to identify, assess, and prioritize their strengths and weaknesses.
- Create targeted, challenging, yet realistic development goals.
- Execute and measure progress toward goals, making appropriate adjustments along the way.
- Keep a steady
yet flexible focus on development over time.

Overview
In today's flatter, ever-evolving organization, leaders need to get things done through people who work outside their line of reporting, and in some cases who even "outrank" them. Welcome to the new age of influence, where effective leaders don't, or can't, throw their weight around to make things happen ... even with their direct reports.
Influential
Leadership helps leaders get their good ideas heard, accepted, and
enacted. Leaders learn
influencing strategies and how to package ideas to gain the commitment
of even the most skeptical coworkers and partners.
Objectives
Helps leaders:
- Capture people's attention, change their perspectives, and make things happen.
- Clearly
link ideas, suggestions, and recommendations to changes that will
have a
positive impact on individual, team, and organizational performance. - Express themselves with enthusiasm and conviction.
- Understand people's motivations, needs, and concerns so they can gain their commitment.

Supporting Leadership Development
Overview
You've mapped
out the best leadership development curriculum possible. The training
is well received, and behavior is starting to change. Then comes
the kiss of death. Little or no management support leaves newly
trained leaders stuck spinning their wheels on the leadership development
cycle.
This course is designed specifically for the managers of leaders
being trained in Interaction Management. It helps managers understand
the concepts and techniques their direct reports are learning, and
helps managers see what they need to do to support the organization
and their new leaders in this critical leadership development initiative.
Objectives
Helps managers:
- Establish
and promote an atmosphere that stresses the importance of continuous
learning and
development. - Proactively
support development efforts of others to increase the likelihood
that they will have a
successful development experience. - Create an
action plan for supporting specific leadership development activities
for their unit and
the organization as a whole. - Ensure the organization receives a favorable return on investment of it?s time, resources, and finances devoted to staff development.

take a cookie-cutter approach to managing people. A leadership style

members? motivations,

organizational results.
