Leadership Training: A Strategic Investment

I was honored to lead two breakout sessions at the Afflink Annual Summit held June 11 to June 13 at the San Diego Convention Center: Balanced Leadership and Why Values Matter.
We spoke during our Balanced Leadership Breakout session how to thoughtfully manage businesses based on the principals of Balanced Leadership. This is where we, as leaders, walk the talk. Where each of us:
1. Thinks like a customer by approaching each challenge as a true solutions provider. By watching you, your team members need to embrace this concept so, they begin to think like a customer in all they do and consider the business from the eyes of the customer to guide their decisions and actions.
2. Feel like a valuable employee by knowing your work and your teams’ work matters and never compromising on safety. When you feel valued, you are empowered. You make smart decisions. You know you can talk to your manager and your team members know they can talk to you. By doing so, you create an uncompromising culture of integrity, honesty, respect and service. You embody the Open-Door Policy by being approachable.
3. Act like an owner by understanding the business and your role in what leads to success. When you consider the business as if it’s your own, you pay careful attention to all the above – your customers and team members – and more.
During our breakout session on “Why Values Matter” we spoke about the importance of Ethics and Integrity. How we, as leaders, must demonstrate and exhibit uncompromising integrity and commitment to values, human resource principles and business conduct policies. We can build trust and instill confidence in our team and our organization through mutually respecting each other, which begins with how we treat each other in our daily interactions.
I also had the opportunity and privilege to address the E2 group (Emerging Leaders). This is an awesome group of leaders who were well-organized and will have a positive effect on those they lead today and in the future. We spoke about how leaders can motivate their teams to achieve personal satisfaction and high performance through a sense of purpose and spirit of cooperation.
All of these vitally important concepts were drawn from our Business Leadership Training curriculum. Learn more about our approach to BUSINESS LEADERSHIP TRAINING and schedule a free, no obligation assessment with our team.
New Podcast: Crucial Talks Episode 35: Legacy, Leadership, and Lug Nuts
Everyone plays roles. In this episode, I spoke about the role of leaders in instilling a sense of Legacy and the behaviors they need for this to happen. This concept is important because the roles people play, and behaviors people assign to those roles will guide what they do. Their role is important especially at the time when people are trying to make sense of the world around them and then decide what to do. We discussed vision, mission, goals and the leader’s role. We provide three key questions leaders can ask themselves: Who am I? What do I stand for? What won’t I compromise?
Coach’s Corner
Be The Best Coach You Can Be
One of my favorite quotes is from legendary UCLA Coach John Wooden, whom I had the great pleasure to meet and interview. He said, “Good values are like a magnet – they attract good people.”
Coach Wooden helped shape my life and values. As a Balanced Leader, I believe it’s my duty to positively impact the experiences of those in my charge.
