Understanding yourself in the context of leadership</strong> <font FACE="Symbol">-</font> Who are you today? and Who would you like to be in the future?  Through a series of self-assessment and feedback tools, you will develop a greater understanding of yourself in the context of leadership. This new perspective influences the way you work, motivate, and communicate with others, in both your business and personal life. Throughout the program, you will have opportunities to more fully understand how others see you. You will set specific objectives based on your future goals and aspirations as well as your current realities. </p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><strong>2. Understanding The skills and practices of exemplary leaders</strong> <font FACE="Symbol">-</font> Leaders take risks, see the benefits of change, and promote a shared vision- But how? Why do some leaders achieve extraordinary results while others fail? What distinguishes the effective leader from those who are simply given leadership responsibilities?</p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">These questions and more are answered as we explore the specific characteristics, practices, skills, and commitments of exemplary leaders. Each one of the five days focuses on a different set of practices and skills required to achieve extraordinary leadership results.</p> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Inherent in the design of <em>StreetSmart Leadership</em> is a specific focus in the following areas:</p> <ul> <li>Strategic thinking and planning</li> <li>Facilitating skills to achieve organizational consensus</li> <li>Negotiating and persuading</li> <li>Teamwork</li> <li>Coaching and empowerment</li> <li>Problem solving</li> <li>Decision-making</li> <li>Developing a cross-functional perspective</li> </ul> </blockquote> <blockquote> <p><strong>3. Developing Leadership Strategies</strong><font FACE="Symbol"> -</font> Our actions create our reality. Why does a specific leadership practice cause success in one situation and failure in the next? How do you really know when to do what when organizations look to you for answers or direction?</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <blockquote> <blockquote> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY">Through down-to-earth, true-to-life examples and exercises, you will explore, experience, and dissect the applications of leadership skills. Each of the sessions looks at the application of specific practices in the context of personal and organizational readiness and culture.</p> </blockquote> </blockquote> <p><i> </p> <font SIZE="6"><b> <hr> </b></font> <p ALIGN="JUSTIFY"><big><font color="#004080"><strong>"Nothing worthwhile ever happens quickly and easily.
