Global Leadership Development
In this highly interactive session, employees will learn a "systems-thinking" approach to leadership. Shedding light on the purely knowledge-based paradigm, specific needs of employees and their senior management teams are addressed from a perspective of the skill development required to help solve real problems within their organizations.
Value to Employees: Participants will use the techniques presented and implement them within their organizations to generate immediate results. They will receive:
- A new understanding of the practical skills and competencies needed to become a more effective leader
- A clear understanding of systems thinking and how it applies to becoming a more effective leader
Participants will receive a guide for taking the next step in leadership and learn to implement a strategic leadership development system throughout the organization
Strategic Global Leadership Skills
This highly interactive session leads employees to look at their own styles and development, in the past and for the future. By various questions, information is gathered and listed, and employees are encouraged to make suggestions for development to each other.
Value to employees: Employees have a visual aid in determining where they are and where they need to be in their management styles.
Transforming Global Performance
Managers are programmed to solve problems. Thats what they are paid to do and where they excell. When an employee has a problem, many managers automatically go into solution mode without realizing it. The employee leaves with the managers solution, and the manager feels great. Solving your people's problems for them creates an obstacle to developing accountable, non-dependent employees.
Transforming Global Performance provides a suite of approaches for getting the employee to resolve his or her problem and simultaneously gain insight into the thinking process that may not be serving them well.
Anchored in current neuroscience studies, Transforming Global Performance approaches are supported by these recent discoveries:
- Our behavior is guided by our emotions which are triggered when our thoughts (beliefs, habits, memories, assumptions, etc.) interact with certain situations in our daily life.
- We develop neural pathways—wiring in the brain—which connect a vast array of information into subconscious patterns that direct our habitual responses to most situations. Over the years, these pathways become deeply entrenched.
- It is much easier to develop new pathways in our neural circuitry than to try to eliminate or alter existing ones.
- The instant we get a new idea or see a possible solution to a problem, we experience a rush of energy, and for brief period we are highly motivated to do something related to this idea or solution.
- Positive acknowledgement and feedback from others has a powerful effect on the development of new pathways.
Transforming Global Performance emphasizes two core messages. In our coaching or management role, we need to:
- Focus on the other persons thinking process, rather than the problem they bring to us.
- Help the other person apply their own neural connections to the problem and come up with a solution that works for them. When this occurs, they become energized.
When you turn a problem back over to your employee to work out, you will probably be taking the employee outside his or her comfort zone. In that uncomfortable place, employees tend to experience fear, confusion, unfamiliarity and self-doubt. The techniques that Transforming Global Performance offers can help us lead our employees through discomfort and back to comfort. In the process they grow self-understanding and confidence.
