COURSE: Transform! Leadership Development

Description

Preparing Leaders to Transform! the Workplace

Transform! Leadership Development is an experiential people management course that trains leaders to guide their employees with clarity, coaching, and compassionate accountability— not intimidation and fear.

There are two simple components to the Transform! philosophy:

     1. Inspire great performance from your employees.

     2. Handle people problems in a way that re-inspires commitment without damaging your relationship with your employees.

Managing people can be challenging. Most leaders have never received training on how to inspire their employees for the long term and be a truly effective leader. Or if they did, it was training that was ineffective and they returned to most of their old habits as soon as the training event was over.

Leaders who embrace the Transform! philosophy and apply the techniques empower their employees to perform at their best. They engage and inspire others to drive results that exceed expectations. The result is a positive culture with empowered, dedicated employees who get results that increase profitability for your company.
