“Setting an example is not the main means of influencing another, it is the only means.” – Albert Einstein
In our exploration of leading in uncharted territory, we dare to share a simple principle: Use discipline and rigor while remaining strategic and nimble in answering the following:
- What kind of influence do you have in the workplace?
- Do people understand what it takes to move performance to the next level?
- Do they understand how to follow when led…and, how to lead when others must follow?
- Do they know how to execute strategically and flawlessly?
Let The Bison Group stimulate your ability to impact your workplace. The Six Levels of Leadership, also known as “The LeaderShaped Leader,” helps you to consider Key Talent Management Processes that drive high levels of business impact. The business world had to realize that their potential leaders are a major asset – and do so rather quickly. Taking that potential and developing it is highly desirable, especially during an economic downturn, downsizing, mergers and acquisitions, and layoffs.
The Process of LeaderShaping is the stimulus to initiate and maintain the behavioral and emotional relationships necessary to develop the leadership traits needed to successfully contest rapid change: an interactive investigation that takes you on a journey to increase Personal Proficiency that leads to greater levels of Professional Mastery and respect. Learn from one of our Master Facilitators how to lead at both the head and heart levels – from any position within your organization.
Based on the content of nationally-acclaimed leadership and team building expert, facilitator, and author Damian D. “Skipper” Pitts, the Six Levels equips you with the tools and knowledge to become the leader your team and your organization requires: The LeaderShaped Leader!
With a dedicated perspective, participants are able to navigate through various steps to ensure they follow the right path for the greatest benefit. Learning to transform into a LeaderShaped Leader, you’ll be able to transition top leadership, project management, execution and team building performance skills so that you can execute and more effectively communicate to gain more retention from the people influenced by your leadership.
