The Greater The Number Of Individuals In An Organization Who Adopt A Leadership Mindset, The Stronger The People, And The Greater The Opportunity To Produce An Abundance Of Positive Results.
It
is an attitude, and the behaviors associated with that attitude, that
results in participating in ways that inspire and motivate others to
invest themselves in helping you create the results your company wants.
When
people and companies get stuck, they usually focus on becoming more
competent at doing what led them to being stuck in the first place.
They work harder, try harder, add more resources, exercise more
control, bear down. They produce more of the same or similar results
and get more stuck.
Moving forward and making progress requires thinking about and doing things differently. It requires, in particular:
- Developing
a different way of being intelligent. This includes developing more
effective ways of thinking, working, communicating, honoring what you
value, connecting with people, learning and dealing with the
expectations and feelings that accompany change.
- Learning
more about self. Understanding one’s purpose and how it aligns with the
corporate mission, how one derives meaning in his or her life and what
drives that person. What people and businesses don’t know about
themselves controls them. The more they know, the more choices they
have and the better choices they make.
Based
on a study of hundreds of high-ranking executives at 15 global
companies, emotional competence was the crucial difference between
mediocre leaders and stars. Almost 90 percent of the stars' leadership
success was attributed to this difference.
The higher one goes
in your organization, the greater the increase in the importance of
leadership of this type. Also, the more complex one's job, i.e., the
greater the cognitive skill required, the greater the value added to
your company by people with highly developed emotional competencies.
Nowhere
can the importance of leadership, above and beyond technical
sophistication, be better seen than in high-technology industries. The
smarter people are, very often the less competent they are in handling
people, themselves included. A 1994 follow-up of a study of 80
University of California at Berkeley Ph.D. scientists begun in the
1950s found emotional abilities four times more important to their
success than IQ.
21st Century Leadership is designed for your
decision-makers entrusted with effectively handling the changes brought
on by the competitiveness and volatility of the times and your industry.
The direct benefits to your company will include:
•
Higher levels of the passion and commitment necessary to lead the
organization into the future in ways that create market events and
outperform competitors.
• Strengthened teamwork through a higher level of trust and collaboration within the organization.
• Improved identification of gaps in quality or service delivery that can erode customer confidence and market share.
• Enhanced work planning and control that will reduce the amount of time wasted on things that don't add value.
•
Development of the kind of inner strength and commitment that supports
your leaders in coping more effectively with the high levels of
ambiguity and risk that can disrupt the workplace and your industry.
What Differentiates 21st Century Leadership?
For
over twenty-five years we have designed and delivered professional and
personal effectiveness courses for business, government, organizations
and the general public.
We know that people learn best that
which they discover for themselves. We also know that this type of
learning is more likely to be put to use over the long-term. We are
experts in experiential education. Built on our wealth of experience,
21st Century Leadership is practical, fun, and produces a lifetime of
better results.
Central to our teaching approach is our firm
belief in people’s ability to achieve the results that they want. That
is to say, people and organizations are not constrained by a lack of
ability. Rather, they are constrained by what they don’t know about
themselves. 21st Century Leadership has distinguished and
differentiated itself from other leadership courses in primarily three
ways. First, by being the leader in the field of experiential
leadership education. Second, by maintaining a focus on assisting
people to develop and strengthen their knowledge of themselves. And,
third, by teaching the leadership competencies that are not taught
elsewhere and that go beyond intellectual expertise and traditional
management techniques.
Helping Your Best People To Become Even Better!
Truly
effective leaders do not just attract followers. They also build other
leaders. They model how to deal with change, how to motivate and
inspire others, and how to create and bring into being a common vision.
We know that by strengthening the leadership skills of those
who run your company, it will be stronger and more competitive. We also
know that when the rank and file employees who serve you and your
customers are led, rather than managed, they will experience greater
satisfaction in their jobs and begin to emulate their leaders.
Many
organizations, though they are loath to admit it, make training
decisions based on the "spray and pray" theory - "If I send enough
people to enough courses, something will stick somewhere, I hope."
21st
Century Leadership is a referral-based course. Our clients come to us
on the recommendations of others who have seen a measurable improvement
in their desired results. Recent participants have come from the City
of Victoria, Bell Canada, Hewlett-Packard, Microsoft, Cisco, Sun
Microsystems, Intuit, City of Regina, Manulife Financial, Coca Cola
Canada, US Air Force, YMCA of Greater Seattle, The Bank of Montreal,
the Board of Governors of the Washington State Bar Association, and a
wealth of entrepreneurial leaders from a variety of businesses, to name
a few.
The people in your company are primarily looking for
meaning in their work. The leaders that will best serve your mission
will themselves experience such meaning and assist others in finding
it. They know that it is not money that motivates people to be
excellent. At the end of the day, people want to know that they have
done something meaningful.
Leadership vs. Management:
While
your company benefits from being managed - kept orderly and productive
– it will thrive from increased leadership. The essence of leadership
is creating the change, including the change in your corporate culture,
which is necessary to produce the results that will keep you ahead of
the competition.
