Building & Improving Leadership Competencies

The morning will consist of interactive lecture and the afternoon will be a forum for participants to discuss the issues at hand. This is an interactive workshop. Role-playing, group discussion and idea inventories are some of the techniques that will be used. Participants will be provided with a documented account of their progress as well as performance checklist for continued improvement.

In this highly interactive and vital format, Dr. Goldsmith leads participants through processes that enable them to create a master strategy for the next decade. He will also help them to build a strong, empowered executive team while coaching them through their own professional development goals. In addition, he will utilize interactive exercises that result in increased problem solving skills, greater understanding of how Strategic/Critical Thinking and business are linked, and the ability to communicate what they have learned to their staff.

Overcoming obstacles and gaining a competitive advantage will be tackled by highly creative methods of thinking and planning. The participants will be excited to launch, reinforce and monitor new strategies in a way that gets their entire team motivated.

Participants learn how to produce breakthroughs and continuous improvement in performance, a greater understanding of competitors and customers, and empowering their staff by providing top-down leadership that generates bottom-line results. This workshop empowers participants to look at Leadership from a "Bottom Line" perspective. Dr. Goldsmith uses specific exercises, designed to bring the team leaders together while fostering individual "Out of the Box" thinking.

Executives learn the dynamics of planning and how to create the conditions necessary to assure the success of your company's strategy. The most important benefits are the processes that empower teams to take control of their future and transform themselves to meet the specific needs of the marketplace. It is a tool businesses can use to reach their goals and create a results oriented focus, as well as developing a contingency plan for possible disasters.

Your team will be challenged to answer hard-hitting questions about where their company is presently, and where they are going. They will be given a framework to help them decide if they are heading in the right direction and how to modify that direction if necessary. Dr. Goldsmith provides state-of-the-art technology that helps management teams create positive changes and get their plan into action.

Participants will come away from this seminar with a clear understanding of how to create a plan that defines where an organization is going, what their company really does, why they are doing it, what the cost is, how to get it done and who is going to do it.

In addition, Dr. Goldsmith discusses specific problems team leaders are experiencing and how "Thinking Like a Leader" would directly apply to their issues. Participants will come away with knowledge of their own decision making process and are given techniques and comprehensive exercises to develop the process.
