Summary: Leadership is a journey, and the path is different for everyone. In this highly interactive program, we will discuss the seven distinct leadership styles, their pros and cons, how they work in real life and not just theoretically, and how EACH of them has a place in the repertoire of a great leader. Participants will uncover the blind spots their preferred leadership style causes them to have and how to protect themselves from their own misperceptions and others’ misunderstanding of their motives and plans. They will discover why they tend to lean on some leadership styles rather than others and what possibilities open up by increasing their leadership range. A great program for leaders of all levels, and particularly those with considerable management experience, this presentation is essential for the HR Professional who takes seriously SHRM’s guidance that the HR Professional must not only develop other people’s leadership skills, but must constantly upgrade their own!
