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.

“At TypeLabs, our goal is to provide our customers with exceptional value through access to on-demand expert content and resources.” said Kris Kiler, President of TypeLabs. “This seminar will be of interest to any type practitioner looking to get deeper into understanding transformational leadership.”

During the last 30 years James MacGregor Burns’ Transformational Leadership has become the most important and widely used leadership model in organisational, political, social and cultural development. Whilst making no assumptions about participants’ prior knowledge of Transformational Leadership, Steve Myers will introduce a distinctive perspective based on C.G. Jung’s analytical psychology, which will make this webinar of interest to all levels of experience. The webinar will begin by introducing and examining the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories. Steve will show why practitioners need to move beyond psychological type to the alchemy of the unconscious in order to transcend the realms of Transactional and Transformational Leadership. He will discuss the unique insights offered by analytical psychology that suggest the use of strategies complementary to those used in mainstream transformational leadership development. He will include practical examples and discuss implications for practitioners in leadership coaching and development.

Objectives:
- To establish a basic understanding of the concepts of transformation in Burns’ and Jung’s theories
- To position psychological type and Jung’s approach to alchemy within the framework of transactional and transformational leadership
- To explore the process of transformation within analytical psychology and how it affects and is affected by relationships between leader and follower(s)
- To identify practical steps that can be taken to promote transformation in individuals and organisations through leadership development

Adapting to the context involves reading the dynamics of a situation accurately, clarifying your objectives in the situation, and then responding with the leadership behaviors that are most likely to realize those objectives.

Adapting to your people involves shifting your own preferred interaction style behaviors to match the communication style preferences of those with whom you are interacting. Effective leadership requires that you adapt to both the context and your people simultaneously.

In this program, Scott Campbell will show you how to use the Social Styles personality type framework as a tool to better read and respond to both your circumstances and your people.

What you can expect to learn:

• How each style’s preferred decision-making style provides a clue to reading your context.
• How to determine specific leadership objectives when facing a leadership situation.
• The key behaviors that build trust with each of the four social styles.
• How to simultaneously balance adapting to the context while adapting to your people.
