More on each module:

Transformational Leadership in Changing Times

Transformational leaders focus on followers, motivating them to high levels of performance, and in the process, help followers develop their own leadership potential. We’ll explore what it takes to be a transformational leader who inspires, empowers, and stimulates followers to exceed normal levels of performance.

Setting the Vision

Leaders not only set the vision, but they share the vision. Key steps in envisioning the future and working with your team to embrace and own it for themselves has powerful impact.

Powerful Motivation– Yours and Your Team’s

There are different types of motivation: pull vs. push. Pull motivation is when people are “pulled” to action — when they WANT to do something. Push motivation is when people feel “pushed” to action — when they feel that they have to do something, or else. The more “pull motivation” people feel, the more energetically they will behave.

This module will give you strategies that can help you increase the pull motivation among those around you so that they do it because they WANT to, not because they “have to.”

Giving Feedback that Motivates Employee Performance

This module brings together proven tools and techniques that the leader can use when giving constructive feedback to their employees. There is a way to gain buy-in to changing behaviors. Among the techniques to be discussed are:

  • How to set the stage for positive interaction
  • When to deliver feedback
  • How to bring about change in behavior
  • How to turn a mistake into a helpful learning experience
  • How to motivate continued improving performance

Meeting Management

So you want to run highly productive, efficient, (and even fun) meetings? Get yourself the right skills and tools, and just watch your good meetings turn into GREAT meetings that bring powerful results!

When to hold meetings…How to start meetings…How to involve participants… How to facilitate (rather than dictate)… How to assign tasks in a friendly and effective way… When to NOT have meetings… How to get a lot of work done, on time…How to have fun!

This module gives you, the leader, common-sense approaches and solutions that will help you facilitate meetings that people will appreciate and even enjoy.

Delegation That Works

Inherent in managing and leading others is the ability to delegate motivationally. This module deals with delegating not only the task, but how to also delegate the responsibility and accountability that enables workers to adopt projects and results as their own.

Monitoring progress can be done punitively or positively. We’ll explore the differences and how to ensure due dates are met or exceeded and quality of work meets or exceeds standards.

Priorities, Balance, and Time Management for the Effective Leader

How can you ever get it all done? So many things to do–soooo much stress! Setting priorities and managing time effectively is basic to managing individual and organizational performance. The pressure to find innovative ways to achieve goals, pay attention to the competition, respond quickly to customer needs, and enjoy life outside of work is even more intense in today’s less structured, information-driven workplace. Meeting the daily challenge of managing professional and personal can enhance a leaders ability to lead. This module will give you tools to manage your priorities more effectively.

Energizing Your Team’s Action

Knowing what to do has no impact unless action is taken. This module deals with strategies to make sure the talk turns into action that counts.

Leadership Excellence Action Steps

This content-filled program will come together with each participant developing action steps that will keep their SMART leadership alive, taking their own performance and that of your organization to the next level.
