What will it take to lead the organization of tomorrow? We only need to look at the exemplary leaders of today and yesterday to discover the timeless competencies of effective leadership. Today’s crisis in leadership—illustrated in companies such as Tyco, Enron, WorldCom, Martha Stewart Living, and others—point to the consequences of a failure of leadership. While the negative effects of such failures are enormous, the positive effects of leaders who unfailingly demonstrate the timeless competencies of leadership can be even more significant—to customers, employees, and shareholders.
Participants in this program will learn:
- The value effective leaders contribute to the organization
- How to identify the six competencies of exemplary leadership and the critical components and outcomes of each
- How to develop your own capabilities in each competency
