Concept
If you're an experienced executive with proven success, you probably feel comfortable with the way you conduct yourself at work. But what if there are some things you could do better? If I improve my leadership skills even more, will it help my colleagues to better use their talents and take advantage of opportunities? Our Leadership for Executives seminar helps you answer these questions. You will assess how you conduct yourself at work and your management style, and compare them to insights from the latest theories about successful leadership in business.
Participants
Participants should be executives with responsibility from all areas of their company, who want to:
- assume more leadership responsibility in the future
- be able to vary their leadership style according to the situation
- optimize how they conduct themselves as a leader in very specific situations, like not letting pressure situations get them to forget what company philosophy and goals are, so they can analyze things clearly and make a decision that's right for the company.
Topics
Executing or Leading?
What is easier for you, executing or leading? Doing things yourself or inspiring others to do these things just as well as you, or even better? No matter how much you work alone, even the best executives eventually reach their limits, since the day has only 24 hours. When this occurs, other ways have to be found to implement your ideas at the same level of quality. At this point at the latest, a doer will become a leader. In cases like, your leadership must multiply the effectiveness that you achieved on your own. By passing your knowledge on to an employee, that employee will be able to work effectively on drivers of success all by himself. This is the best way to achieve the desired results. Our Leadership for Executives seminar helps you be even more effective as a business leader.
What's the Right Leadership Style for Me?
When leading your employees to mutual success, you have several leadership styles available to you. At one end is the “Commanding people” style, at the other end the “self-organizer” style who leads with the basic idea of providing guidelines, of delegating competencies at staff level, and managing and controlling company systems to achieve company objectives. Between these two leadership styles are numerous others. What are these? Which corresponds to your leadership style? Do you master several different leadership styles and are you able to apply the best-possible style depending on the situation? When do you come across authentic and when not? Our Leadership for Executives seminar gives you the chance to know your own leadership style, so you can then strengthen it even further and apply it even better.
Learning from Mistakes. Believing in Success.
Sometimes you need more than one attempt before your company can achieve real success. Mistakes are portals to opportunity, are personal experiences that should be capitalized on. The instrument you need to do this is … resilience. We'll show you how to anchor this principle of success in yourself, in your management team and your company.
