Training for Organizations

Pride-Based Leadership®

Program Overview

With a tough economy and employee confidence at an all time low, today more than ever, businesses of every size need the strongest leadership teams they can build — and to meet that challenge, leadership programs are everywhere you turn. Unfortunately, virtually every program’s actual focus is on basic supervisory and management skills — NOT the unique skills associated with true leadership.

In fact, the topic of leadership has become so broad it’s been diluted to little more than a generic buzzword. Along the way, the true role of a leader — and the true skills of leadership — have been lost under a pile of tasks more appropriately assigned to supervisory and management team personnel.

Pride-Based Leadership® takes a radically different approach, focusing on the five key skill areas that distinguish true leaders from all others. Specifically true leaders have the ability to:

• author and articulate a compelling vision.
• awaken and sustain desire in their followers.
• create and maintain an environment of pride.
• mobilize and focus the efforts of others toward a clear destination.
• identify and develop key followers into true leaders.

Who should attend?

Pride-Based Leadership® is appropriate for everyone who carries any formal or informal responsibility for identifying, supporting and developing talent in others.

Format

Pride-Based Leadership® is available in a variety of formats ranging from a 1-hour keynote address to an 8-day comprehensive training program. The program is modular in design, allowing clients to focus on the applications most important to them.

The program is fast-paced and fun. A balance of lecture, one-on-one and small-group activities makes the sessions enjoyable — and the learning effortless. There is ample time to practice and apply newly acquired and enhanced leadership skills with other members of the group — and every participant leaves with an action plan for implementing their new skills immediately upon their return.

Program Outline

Principles of Pride-Based Leadership® Module — This module explores the specific concepts and skills associated with true leadership, and compares traditional shame-based management behaviors to pride-based leadership behaviors. This module is 4 hours in duration, exclusive of breaks. Topics covered include:

Topical Applications Modules — While Pride-Based Leadership is singular in its focus it is broad in application. Leaders invariably carry numerous management and supervisory responsibilities and it is critical that they conduct themselves in a manner that does not compromise their ability to lead. With that in mind, Pride-Based Leadership can be applied to virtually every management and supervisory duty. Clients may select one or more of the following modules.
