Developing Leaders - Why Traditional Leadership Training Misses the Mark

Mary Hladio

Sinopsis

How to close the gap between job satisfaction and genuine engagement—and create training and development plans that produce passionate leaders.   Many companies and managers fall back on traditional and standardized training events when trying to improve upon broad areas that can’t really be managed—such as change, time, and stress. Mary Hladio knows that these approaches don’t work and the numbers prove she’s right. Research by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) shows that while over eighty percent of employees are generally satisfied with their current positions, less than seventy percent feel passion and excitement for their job, and just over half feel tuned in at work. That’s a thirty percent drop-off between satisfaction and engagement.    To properly influence culture in a way that results in better engagement, business owners and company executives must first understand what optimal engagement would look like in their company, and that’s what Developing Leaders is all about. It is not simply designed to show people the problems with their current approaches, but to provide workable solutions—and a blueprint for how to link a company’s development objectives to their corporate strategy as a precursor to creating any developmental plan.    “Hladio tackles one of the most critical components of your success. You will begin to learn both how to be a leader and how to identify others as true and worthy leaders.” —Jim Stovall, bestselling author of The Ultimate Gift

When his Google query, “how to make money online,” directed him to digital marketing courses, Chris found his calling. Soon his own sites ranked number one for “double chin,” “stained concrete,” and “acai fruit.” The rest, as they say, is history.Now, Rankings.io hits the top of industry lists year after year as an SEO agency for personal injury lawyers.

First, Fast, Fearless is a practical guide for the business leader who wants to learn from the best of the best how to build and lead effective teams in conditions of volatility, uncertainty, complexity, ambiguity, and constant change. As one of the most experienced trainers in Navy SEAL history, “Iron Ed” Hiner reveals how to:

Develop your personal leadership brand-and make it your credo

Create mission-aligned teams that operate as true comrades

Establish and communicate crystal-clear goals

Enhance team innovation and problem solving under pressure

Combat the enemies of copious bureaucracy and inadequate resources

Rise to the call of leadership when it counts most



 
You may not be facing jihadists in the mountains of Afghanistan and the streets of Iraq like Hiner did. But just as his SEALs depended on him to lead them on successful missions and safe passage home, your people are counting on you to empower them, defeat the competition, and forge paths to greater success.

 
Be a First, Fast, Fearless leader!

What Business Are You In?

Ted Levitt

What Business Are You In?This Harvard Business Review (HBR) article focuses on Ted Levittâ€™s classic question, What Business Are You In? and what are you doing about it?He provides the classic example of why the Canadian railroads succeeded in the mid-20th century while the American ones faltered. The Canadians identified their business as transportation unlike the Americans who narrowly focused on being railroads. Therefore, the Canadians expanded into air and bus travel, as well as hotels and resorts for people to stay at on their trips. The Americans stayed focused on their railroads, missed these other opportunities, and saw much of their base business wither away.This audiobook includes six best selling articles by HBS professor Ted Levitt: Marketing Myopia, After the Sale is Over, Marketing Success through Differentiation of Anything, Production Line Approach to Service, The Globalization Approach to Markets, and Creativity is not Enough.

Safe Enough to Soar -...

Frederick A. Miller, Judith H. Katz

Some organizations pay a great deal of attention to ensuring the physical safety of their team members, but do the team members feel safe enough to speak up and raise tough concerns? Share bold ideas that are still in formation?

In this audiobook, best-selling authors and inclusion experts Frederick A. Miller and Judith H. Katz introduce the concept of “interaction safety” and demonstrate how it can help create a work environment of trust, inclusion, and collaboration.

Interaction safety encourages reasonable risk-taking and inspires every individual to be brave enough to reach for higher goals and more ambitious possibilities. When interaction safety exists, people know they will not be penalized, ostracized, demoted, made small, discounted, or shunned because of their thoughts, contributions, and conversations. Individuals feel encouraged, empowered, and can achieve more together than they would alone.

Miller and Katz provide a four-level model for assessing and increasing the interaction safety in organizations, illustrated by short scenarios taken from real-life situations. They offer concrete actions team members, leaders, and organizations can take to build and maintain a productive, collaborative, and innovative environment in which people do their best work individually and collectively.

When interaction safety is a way of life, the energy people used to spend walking on eggshells, trying to get their ideas heard, navigating minefields, or avoiding those they distrust can instead be put toward doing their best work and winning bigger for the organization.

With a culture of openness and true collaboration, both the organization and individual can soar!
