UNDERSTANDING LEADERSHIP & MANAGEMENT

COACHING 21ST CENTURY LEADERS

In today's complex business environment, leadership is becoming more and more elusive. In our efforts to perform, management continues to be a priority and leadership becomes secondary. In order for long-term success, leadership needs to be the focus with management as its companion.

This workshop explores leadership and management and the importance of each. Today is the day to begin your leadership journey with Peak Leadership Training, coaching 21st Century Leaders.

IS AMERICA HAVING A LEADERSHIP CRISIS?

ARE YOUR EMPLOYEES ENGAGED?

I think America is having a leadership crisis. We are looking for that super leader/manager that is able to turn a company around tomorrow. Today's corporations are paying huge salaries to leaders who don't do very well.

More than a third of America's highest paid leaders have been fired in the last 20 years, according to the institute for policy studies. Why is this happening? Is it a leadership problem or a management problem?

I believe it's an employee engagement problem. In a recent Gallup study employee engagement is at an all time low. A whopping 70% of all employees are not engaged at work. According to Dan Pontefract, 28% are actively disengaged, 45% are not engaged and 27% are engaged.

WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?

"In professional settings, effective leaders aren't usually people who've spent hours diligently poring over academic case studies on leadership."

"They're simply people who've focused on building their own competence-being really good at whatever it is they do-and subsequently developed leadership skills through that competence."

- Jeff Kavanaugh

"Leadership is the art of accomplishing more than the science of management says is possible."

- Colin Powell

4 KEYS TO BEING A BETTER LEADER

PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!

Leadership today is not an exact science, especially with the new multi-generational challenges. One thing is for certain leadership isn't something to be ignored. We must practice our leadership skills if we expect a high level of performance from our team. Forbes suggests four keys to becoming a better leader:

Practice delegation: Explain the vision and trust your team.
Practice communication: Create authentic conversations, be clear and speak directly.
Practice enthusiasm: Morale is linked to positive energy, check your attitude.
Practice accountability: Act ethically and responsibly and don't make promises you can't keep.

When we practice our leadership skills we'll feel uncomfortable at first but with commitment and perseverance the results will yield quality results.
