DEVELOPING LEADERSHIP SKILLS

Leading and Following – Achieving High Performance

Successful leadership is dependent upon followership; thus, leadership is a relationship. Leadership development is directed toward enhancing the learner's capacity to engage in relationships to successfully lead people. Leaders establish a goal and guide others to achieve that goal. Leaders function as learners, pathfinders and mentors. This seminar is designed to improve personal and professional effectiveness by learning how to establish relationships that inspire, motivate and guide others to achieve results.

Seminar participants will learn the nuts and bolts of leadership, and learn to:

Put leadership skills into practice with organizational performance in mind
Apply their leadership skills to their interactions with others

Topics include:

What is a leader? What is a follower? Leadership as relationship.
How do successful leaders lead and successful followers follow?
Why professionals want to improve their leadership skills – moving between follower and leader roles.
Linking leadership models and skills to everyday life – making YOUR LEADERSHIP skills work for you!*

Illustrative Recent Leadership Development Program

Recently, BEAN&BEAN was asked by a regional organization in the southeast to help a team of divisional managers to build leadership skills and raise the level of organizational performance. To accomplish these objectives, BEAN&BEAN delivered a two-part program in Florida. First, a speech was presented to the team at a regular dinner meeting, by Dr. Cindy Bean, who is an accomplished and enthusiastic public speaker. The purpose of this speech was to introduce members to the organization development concepts and challenges. Team members were also asked to complete MBTI instruments and an assessment of business issues and opportunities to prepare for the seminar. The workshop customized for the company used MBTI as a tool for participants to gain insights on leadership behaviors. A facilitated discussion at the end of the workshop developed a set of priority next steps. These will be reinforced by BEAN&BEAN over the following months, and will also be used as a measure of program success. Some comments by workshop participants. This program for achieving high performance and leading change has been certified for 4 CEU's by the Florida Department of Health. More details
