. CONSULTING AND COACHING GREAT08 Improvement Process The ASAP Process: Ask, Synthesize, Analyze, Plan LD3: Leadership Development Series Breakthrough Coaching for Improvement Teams Now YOU can lead one of our most requested workshops . Leadership is not magnetic personality -- that can just as well be a glib tongue. It is not "making friends and influencing people" -- that is flattery. Leadership is lifting a person's vision to high sights, the raising of a person's performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations. ...-- Peter Drucker LD3 is a three-part development series that's all about lifting, raising, and building our effectiveness as leaders. Through a series of three workshops at one-month intervals, participants get the rare chance to step away from business as usual -- and gain new ideas, new insights, and new best practices. This is a focused series that makes the most of people's time. The first session typically fills a half day, and subsequent sessions cover 2-3 hours each. Participants conclude each workshop by developing specific action steps, which they put into practice during the four weeks before the next session. This is crucial because it turns learning into an active and ongoing process with immediate benefits to the workplace. Participants can come from a department, a mix of departments, a region, a leadership team -- there are many possibilities. The same people attend all of the sessions. In terms of content, LD3 takes a new look at the biggest challenges facing leaders today: Satisfaction, Motivation, and Engagement: These terms are used interchangeably, yet there are key differences. LD3 participants build their understanding and gain skills for strengthening all three of these factors. Change: Rarely does change follow a linear path from status quo to desired state. It's much more complicated, requiring traits and skills that are all about having vision, reading the environment, building capacity, dealing with the unexpected, and using resistance to get smarter and adjust course. Trust: When it comes to teamwork and workplace relationships, there is no greater force than trust. In LD3, participants learn how to leverage their emotional intelligence in order to build trust over the long term. Learning: Ongoing improvement requires constant learning. That's why effective leaders keep their eyes and minds wide open to the many learning opportunities that unfold every day. LD3 shows why learning is so important -- and gives practical techniques for absorbing and applying the lessons in everyday situations. Workplace Culture: The best workplaces emphasize commitment over compliance, trust over fear, and mission over rules. They are empowering environments where people work together, make choices, leverage their strengths, and pursue common outcomes. As LD3 unfolds, participants gather the know-how and skills they need to build this kind of high-performance culture. All content is tailored for a specific group based on advance interviews with key people from the organization. For more information, click here to send a note or call 614-488-9721.
