Understanding & Developing Your Leadership Style

Length: 1 to 2 hours as a keynote presentation, 4 to 8 hours for a workshop or seminar

Who should attend?
Everyone including senior management, team leaders, project managers, supervisors, and all other employees with leadership potential.

Program description:
Each person has a unique and distinctive leadership style and this program helps you uncover these aspects and become more aware of your strengths and limitations as a leader. You will learn how to use the 11 steps that make up the leading with authenticity model. Once a leader understands these 11 steps (and how to use them) their effectiveness really increases. Leading with authenticity requires that you understand your beliefs, attitudes, values and other personal characteristics and how they impact your leadership style. Leaders must be congruent. Once you have self-awareness and self-acceptance then you are able to refine and fully develop these God-given inner resources. Learning to use the Arrow of Authenticity tool will help you become a leader people will follow.
