- How can I possibly get everything done?
- Why does it seem so hard to make change happen? How can I do it anyway?
- What actions would generate progress for the organizational struggles that keep me awake at night?
- What work for change do I continue to avoid because quick fixes don't seem to help?
- How do I create and sustain collective purpose for my team's aspirations?
- How does the work "really work"? What's the best way to innovate?
Imagine gaining insight to tackle even one of these questions…
We designed LEADERSHIP IN ACTION to help you:
- Raise hard-to-talk-about issues so that others will address them with you
- Understand your reality better by identifying the invisible "pressures on the system"
- Act courageously and boldly in risky situations
- Connect with people in a way that inspires their commitment and support
- Stay grounded in the face of success, failure, or uncertainty
- Respond productively to opposition without losing your focus or your good spirit
- Communicate skillfully in the presence of strong emotions and heart-felt exchanges
Simulations? Slide Shows? Lectures? No way! This is about real progress on real issues to help you grow as a person so that you can move your organization forward. It’s about breaking longstanding, ineffective habits and transforming your capability to act powerfully and courageously in your life, in your work, and in the world.
Becoming someone else? No way! We help you become more authentically who you are! Experience your own leadership abilities, reflect on their effectiveness and deploy them in the service of your purpose.
