As pointed out in this month's article, managers often struggle communicating initiatives in a way that clearly motivates their teams around a common vision. Part of the challenge is that managers are often so involved in the day-to-day challenges of managing the business that they never stand back and evaluate what their own personal style and/or approach to leadership is.
This session provides several facilitator lead activities that help individuals explore their personal approach to leadership. Just about any manager, facilitator, teacher, coach, or anyone else in a position of influence can be considered a leader. Perhaps the common denominator in defining who is and who is not a leader is whether the individual has influence over another individual or group. When we consider this, all of us have the potential to influence and lead. However, how effective we are as leaders is another question.
The Bible tells us to judge the goodness of a tree by whether it bears good or bad fruit and that "a good man out of the good treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good; and an evil man out of evil treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is evil." The same evaluation works for leaders. Do they have positive or negative influence on others? By observing great leaders of the past and present, certain basic qualities can be identified of great leaders. This workshop is designed to provide participants opportunities reflect on their own personal approach to leadership in order to improve their positive influence on those they lead.
Participants in this 2 to 3 day workshop will:
1. Discover the traits of leaders in order to identify their key core values they will use as a base for their leadership platform.
2. Determine what mark they want to leave on those the lead and influence.
3. Create and practice delivery of a succinct message that explains their core values and where they want to lead their teams.
4. Investigate and practice key qualities of servant leadership
