Leadership Development Track

Overcoming the Five Dysfunctions of a Team

Based on Patrick Lencioni’s book by the same title, this 2 or 3-day session involves assessing your team’s performance against the five fundamentals of a high performance team AND developing strategies for expanding skill and performance in each area: Building Trust, Mastering Conflict, Achieving Commitment, Embracing Accountability, and Focusing on Results.

Increase Leadership Influence through Personal Mastery

At the heart of influential leadership is the ability to build effective, trusting relationships with others. This module provides insight, tools, and strategies for increasing your interpersonal effectiveness by first expanding your personal awareness and your understanding of others.

Coaching for Performance

Every leader struggles to find the best way to communicate effectively with employees and motivate them to perform with excellence. In this module, leaders discover how to use a coaching leadership style to produce outstanding results and build their own confidence to lead.

Strengthening Employee Engagement and Commitment

What are the key drivers of employee engagement? To what extent are these drivers present in your organization? How much power and influence does the leader really have when it comes to gaining commitment from team members?

The Dynamic Team Environment

The leader’s ability to foster effective interpersonal dynamics among his/her team is an incredibly critical skill that will make or break a team’s performance.

Strategic Planning Track

Vision & Mission

A well-crafted, actionable vision and mission helps to focus an organization’s efforts and ground a leadership team’s decisions

Goal Setting & Anticipating Obstacles

Individuals, teams, and organizations are strategic when they think, act and influence in ways that effectively promote the organization's enduring success. The process begins with the right focus and direction via effective goal setting.

Execution

Execution is NOT just about action. It is about disciplined people taking disciplined action, consistent with expectations and decisions made.

Sustainability

Examine your organization’s leadership behaviors and culture and what legacy you may be leaving (intentionally or unintentionally). How are we behaving today that may compromise or support our organization’s ability to thrive into the future?
