This executive seminar provides cutting-edge findings on how to move from "good to great" in your personal leadership skills by identifying and leveraging your strengths, rather than concentrating on short-comings. You will leave energized with a new path to personal leadership excellence.

Greatness is not the absence of weaknesses: it is the possession of a few profound strengths. This is one of the many insights found in the recently released book, The Extraordinary Leader, by renowned researchers and authors Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman. This fast-moving executive seminar will present the findings in this research and provide you with a powerful new path to improve your leadership skills. Leadership is a concrete and learnable skill - one that can be acquired by studying and applying specific proficiencies and attitudes. The research drew on responses from 225,000 surveys to define the 16 differentiating competencies that comprise extraordinary leadership.

The traditional approach to improvement is to assess leaders to find their strengths and weaknesses and then work to "fix"" these weaknesses. However, if one's weaknesses are not "fatal," it is better to concentrate on building on areas of current strength.

This interactive and hands-on seminar will present a new and powerful path to leadership greatness. You will leave both stimulated and re-tooled to move your leadership to an entirely new level.
