Creating an Extraordinary Organization
The Mindset of Leadership
People work to live. Work is the place where they spend the majority of their time. And for many, it is an environment which is dysfunctional at best, emotionally debilitating at worst. Only six percent of Americans say that they love their jobs. More than $300 billion, or $7500 per employee, is spent annually in the United States on stress-related compensation claims. Job burnout experienced by 25% to 40% of U.S. workers is the leading occupational disease and responsible for more days lost from work than any other single factor.
This is all very unfortunate because personality conflicts, power struggles, unspoken hidden agendas, misunderstandings, people not feeling appreciated or understood, and turnover all negatively impact a company’s bottom line, as well as robbing people of the aliveness they want at work. With such circumstances, how are companies to plan for and adapt to the many dramatic changes they continue to face?
An organization’s leader must provide that elusive quality called leadership. Most people think that leaders are born rather than made. That simply is not true. Leaders demonstrate an ability, which can be learned, to powerfully speak and listen in a way that engenders hope, confidence, and enthusiasm in the people within the organization.
In this program, you will learn the fine art of leadership and how to create a working environment that nurtures and supports people to be creative, productive and profitable. Topics to be included are
- The nature of a paradigm and how it dictates our attitudes and behavior
- The source of the conversation we live in and how it impacts or world view
- How to listen so that people have the experience of being heard
- How to use language to create the most empowering environment possible
- How to best provide leadership for your team
Duration: this program can be offered in any format, from a one hour keynote to an all day workshop.
