Course Focus:

Leadership is about putting on a mind, not putting on an act. Therefore, this course is designed with the following two questions in mind: what are the characteristics of authentic leadership thinking, and how can I use them to motivate workers to peak performance? Using cases and participatory exercises, the subjects of leadership and motivation are explored in such a way as to transcend cultural differences, while, at the same time, respecting them.

Key Benefits:

Leadership is approached by first having participants examine their current thinking styles. For this purpose the psychometric instrument known as “The Lifestyles Inventory” is used, and is central in tailoring the course to the particular needs of each student. Motivation is handled directionally. We discuss not only the motivation of direct reports, but also of the people over whom the manager has no direct control – that is, colleagues (peers) and the “boss.” Abundant video examples are used to illustrate how the principles being taught are actually applied at the workplace.

Topics Include:

• The power of vision

• Paradigm shifting

• Turning around negative attitudes

• The changing workforce

• Empowerment and independence

• Teamwork

• Changing rules & changing roles
