Description:

The pure essence of Leadership is influence and everyone has the power to increase theirs. One of the challenges during times like these is understanding the fundamental principles of ethical influence. A huge part of becoming a leader and assuming a leadership position is figuring out where you are with those you are commissioned to lead and shifting our focus to recognizing their potential. Stepping into a new leadership role can offer many new demands. At times new positions come with limited exposure to proven principles to maximize the leader dealing with these new set of demands. It is Darryl’s hope to share some definitive principles accompanied with real life application to help in day-to-day operations that the supervisor’s role entails.

Participants will be exposed to the following principles and discussions:

  • Why Does the World Need Leaders?
  • The Difference in Supervisory Roles and Leadership Roles
  • Legal Authority/Departmental Authority Versus Moral Authority
  • Proper Work/Life Balance
  • The Importance of an Evaluations System
  • Media Relations
  • Definitive Steps to Increase your Leadership Influence

Leaders First Priority: Define Reality!

Dealing with Criticism: If you can’t avoid it you have to learn to deal with it.

Defining Moments in Leadership: When they show up, you need to.

A Leadership Atmosphere: How to create and maintain it.

Every Leaders Common Mistake: Acknowledge it or repeat it. .

What Separates Leaders from Great Leaders: Good leaders are good talkers, Great leaders are good listeners .

Every Leaders Best Teacher: It is not Experience .

Questions Every Leader Should Ask: Where are you.
