The Purposeful Leader

In today’s work environment, leaders are often pulled in different directions. Their managers want certain results. Their peers want input and coordination of efforts. Their employees want recognition and feedback. Successful leaders can no longer simply meet the needs of one set of stakeholders; they must find balance and accommodation for all. In this program, leaders learn to find focus, be purposeful in the actions they take, and build alliances with their employees, supervisors, and peers.

Your managers and supervisors may need these skills if:

• Leaders make decisions and implement initiatives that undermine the company values and brand.
• Leaders hire in the image of themselves.
• Most employees don’t have goals or targets or the ones they have are outdated and unusable.
• Performance discussions are focused on the past with very little time spent on future plans and development.
• Managers and supervisors do all the talking during reviews.
• Leaders struggle with organizational politics.

Program Outcomes:

• Recognize the value of a strong brand.
• Select and screen individuals for employment based on their fit with your culture and brand.
• Set performance goals.
• Monitor, document, and appraise performance in a way that is motivating.
• Manage upward, building support from your supervisor and senior leaders.
• Handle organizational politics.
