Leadership for Today’s Leaders

Why Should You Attend:

Participants will learn what true leadership means and what they must be able to do to be a leader. Most leaders are promoted to leadership positions because of their technical competency; loyalty to the organization; or relationship with the boss. Experts agree that none of these prepares them to be leaders and almost all businesses today don’t have the time or skills to train them to be leaders.

Studies indicate that as many as 70% of those in leadership positions do not have the skills to lead. They will acquire an understanding of the core skill competencies that have survived the test of time over many generations and are required of them if they aspire to leadership competency. They will learn why these skills have stood the test of time and how to apply them to the development of practical solutions they face every day in the workplace. They will also learn the importance of having a strong strategic vision and culture to provide a compass for daily actions as leaders.

Topic Background:

Leaders, sometimes, lack formal leadership training and/or was promoted to their position because of their relationship with the boss, loyalty, or seniority; or because of their technical competency instead of leadership experience and training. Roughly 70% of leaders today are believed to be unqualified to lead and in the next few years, boomer generation retirement will cause a supply/demand deficit of 30% or more.
