LEADERSHIP: CREATING A LEGACY

A practical workshop to provide leaders with the tools to create a high performance organization before they are promoted or retire.

BACKGROUND

Every leader needs to think about the legacy that they want to leave behind. What will staff be saying about you at your retirement party? Will there be general embarrassment, with people looking at the floor trying desperately to find something positive about you.  Or, will it be a joyous occasion with large numbers of people all happy to extol the virtues of your leadership – how you had confidence in your staff, your willingness to listen and be influenced, the ease with which you found something good and positive in each person, how you celebrated each success, promoted and advocated for people and shared your wisdom readily.   

The leadership practices needed to create a positive legacy will also benefit your stakeholders right now.  

This workshop will give you the tools to create an exciting, focused, innovative environment in which your people will be challenged to meet the ever increasing demands of your stakeholders.
