| Leaders, whether in the family, in business, in government, or in education, must not allow themselves to mistake intentions for accomplishments. Jim Rohn |
|
Movers and Shakers pride themselves in the way in which we come alongside business leaders. |
We assist in helping them to understand and implement some of the principles of leadership that they have not yet mastered. |
Most of all, unlike many leadership studies and courses, we believe we have one of the most practical and understandable programs available. |
Many delegates on our courses have responded with a new understanding of things they had heard time and again but now say “Wow, I never thought of it that way before”. |
One business man we know has an interesting philosophy when he hires on a new person to his team. |
Essentially his message to the new person is: |
“I will give you this job for a year, but if you are still doing this job a year from now I’ll take it away from you.” |
“If you have taken somebody else under your wing and taught them to do what you do and replaced yourself, I’ll give you another job.” |
Can you imagine the different mentality of people within his organization?
No wonder his team is on the way to the top. |
We have found that the fashion is changing. |
10 to 15 years ago the big buzzword was “management”. I’m going on a management course, I want to manage people. |
That trend changed around 5 to 10 years ago when people started to focus more on Leadership. |
The difference here is that management is about maintaining systems, and there is a place for that, but Leadership is about growing people. |
More recently, we have found that the trend has changed further, and more and more executive teams are starting to focus on Team-Leadership, where the M.D. realizes that no one person has all the skills necessary to take a large organization on to significance. |
It’s all about getting the right people around you in your inner circle. |
|
| So the dynamic that needs attention is: |
 | How do these Leaders fit together effectively? | | Do they really know each other? | | How to capitalize on their strengths and be aware of their weaknesses? | | Is there trust and loyalty between them? | |
|
| “Gathering leaders is like herding cats…” Dr. J Maxwell |
|
Conference presentations and modules as well as ongoing regular focus groups for your leadership team can be designed and custom built. |
Leadership is not learned in a day. It is a process.
It is a process of daily, deliberate action. |
|
| “Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things” Peter Drucker |
|
Think of some of the most successful leaders you know and you will probably find that they are the ones that most value new knowledge on leadership abilities. |
They are the ones whose bookshelves are full of books on leadership and autobiographies of great leaders. |
