Leadership Empowerment Practices Curriculum
A teachable point of view (as defined by Noel Tichy) enlarges leaders’ capacity to develop and inspire others while strengthening their line of sight business acumen. Participants will understand how the 4 components of a TPOV is an integral part of building trust as a leader. By considering how biography influences leadership styles, participants will map and apply their own seminal life experience(s) to their organizational objectives.
With businesses re-defining how, where, and when work gets done today, professionals are examining how to leverage their skills in new and dynamic ways at work. Participants will learn how to inventory and brand their skills and consistently apply this approach during any time of change and disruption.
Developing and sustaining a trusting relationship is the foundation of a leader’s credibility with a work group. One key component of building trust is being willing to be vulnerable. Our origin stories establish an opportunity to find common ground through shared experiences across geographies, generations and/or gender identity.
These terms are often used synonymously – and both are important to career development – but they have specific applications. Participants will understand the role and responsibilities of a sponsor and a mentor and how to effectively deploy them for workforce planning.
The end of a career in an organization or industry does not signal the end of making a contribution. For those considering the next chapter of their journey in a new professional or civic engagement capacity, the first steps can be unclear. In this group coaching environment, participants will examine their challenges and aspirations to draft a vision for their next act.
When asked if they have a succession plan, leaders often warily reply, “I have someone in mind,” or “I’m not planning to leave my role anytime soon.” Consequently, the plan is not prioritized or clearly communicated – and key talent may be overlooked. In this session, you will be guided through the mindset and leadership practices necessary to co-create an uncompromising plan for the future of your organization.
