How We Lead Matters
Building a great organization requires effective leadership at all levels. How we lead determines the quality of our connection with others. Perhaps now more than ever, we need to connect with our people to build safety, trust, and healthy relationships. It turns out these skills can be learned. A key element that is often misunderstood is what it means to Lead with Respect (LwR) and connect with people on a level which inspires engagement, teamwork, and accountability. This hands-on workshop explores why leading with respect is essential, how to put LwR into practice to inspire people to drive better relationships and results.
Driving Outcomes Centered on Results & Relationships
Effective leadership requires a dual focus: achieve results and develop people. Fostering the right behavior in others requires solid relationships built on trust, respect, transparency, and consistency. As a leader, the results you seek can only be reached through the efforts of your people. As people engage with leaders, you will build a workplace that enables and supports the courage and vulnerability required to learn, practice, and master the core practices of Lead with Respect.
