Focus Area: Leadership Time: 8 hours Objectives:
Workshop Description: Leadership is an art. Leadership is a science. Leaders are born. Leaders are made. Leaders lead. Leaders serve. Great leaders are charismatic and light up a room. Great leaders merely turn on the lights so that others may see. We could go on and on listing leadership axioms, idioms and even “tediums”. But the truth is that there are shreds of truth in all these statements—big shreds, small shreds, some kinds of shreds and what it amounts to as you pull all the shreds apart is that leadership is highly personal. We lead in different ways and that is how it should be. But there are things successful leaders know and do that help their organizations outperform others. We’ll talk about those in this workshop and you’ll build strategies to lead in a more effective and inspiring way and bring your organization or team to its highest levels.
