Overview Within High Performance Organizations, leaders recognize the value and potential of their human resources. They want to get the most from them, so they create a culture (organizational design) in which people participate in setting goals, making decisions, and solving problems. People go beyond compliance to commitment. They want to be part of the organization and are excited to contribute to it. This session will provide participants with specific leadership tools to increase their employees' motivation and commitment to the success of the organization. Key topics for this session include: Learn the difference between commitment and compliance motivation Understand how leadership changes to create commitment Learn the four principles of empowerment Learn the elements of empowerment Discover a matrix for identifying what people need in order to be empowered Develop a dialogue to transfer power to others Create a model of situational leadership Structure and Format Our ''High Performance Leadership'' learning series consists of eight modules (each three to four hours in length) that are scheduled three weeks apart. The modules are entirely standalone so are effective individually or in combination with the other modules. The sessions are upbeat, interactive and informative. Participants will have an opportunity to learn new skills and meet other business leaders from the Portland/Vancouver area representing a variety of functions and industries. We utilize discovery and facilitation more than lecture and instruction, creating an environment of real learning. The modules include numerous individual and group exercises that make the training come alive and ensure that participants translate the principles into a personal plan of action. In order to ensure an optimum learning environment, we limit our class sizes to no more than 20 participants.
