One of the most pressing concerns in organizations of all sizes is the quality of their leadership. The global training and development market is very large (X Billion), and continues to grow, but organizations remain concerned about how prepared for the future their leaders are.
How can you ensure that your (or your clients’) organization will overcome this challenge? Why do leaders continue to be concerned, despite the size of the training and development budgets they fund, and the many employees who attend leadership development workshops? Most important, what can organizations (and you) do differently to change their leadership readiness trajectory?
In this presentation, Sharon will introduce what some executives have called “the world’s simplest leadership model.” She will outline three critical leadership abilities, link them to core aspects of emotional intelligence and personality type, citing proprietary research results, and offer a five step strategy for building a more robust leadership pool.
What you’ll learn:
1) What’s creating this leadership shortage
2) The new essence of leadership
3) Encouraging the emergence of more leaders – and considering personality type
4) “Leadership Intelligence” – when emotional intelligence meets leadership and personality type
5) The leaders role in developing leaders
Join this popular presenter, and walk away seeing your own role, and your own leadership potential, in a new light.
