Overcoming the leadership challenge and create an organization of exceptional leadership

Best audience: Corporate events, Leadership conferences, Associations, Leadership events, CEOs, executives, managers.

Most organizations are operating at a mediocre level when it comes to leadership. Employees who are excellent at their technical job are often promoted to a leadership position, creating a cycle of ineffective leaders. The traditional approach to leadership has proven ineffective.

According to Gallup, just 33 percent of the American workforce is fully engaged in their jobs and 16 percent are actively disengaged. It’s never been more challenging to be a leader than it is today. Employees are expecting more from their organizations. They want a sense of purpose and meaning in their work, a supportive environment, consistent feedback, and leaders who develop them to their potential.

In order to operate at an exceptional level, you need exceptional leaders. Effective, exceptional leaders can transform your credit union into a profitable and successful organization with productive, highly-engaged employees who provide remarkable service to your members.

 

In this powerful session, Laurie Maddalena will share:

  • Three strategies executives and leaders can implement to break through the leadership challenge cycle and create an organization of exceptional leadership.
  • The one thing the CEO must do today to upgrade the leadership quality in the organization.
  • The one question to ask when hiring and promoting employees to ensure you make the right choice
  • Why employee engagement is important and why it isn’t about having happy employees
  • The best kept secret of the top organizations in the world when it comes to creating a culture of engagement, and how their profits even surpass the “Good to Great” companies.

Re Energize and Elevate Your Leadership

Best audience: Corporate events, Leadership conferences, Associations, Leadership events, CEOs, executives, managers.

It’s never been more challenging to be a leader than it is in today’s organizations.

While technology has brought innovation and advancement, many leaders today are feeling overwhelmed with data, decisions, and distractions that make it challenging to lead at their highest level.

As leaders, most of us tend to slip into negative habits that don’t serve us. These habits keep us from operating at an exceptional level.

Much like a health detox leaves you feeling more refreshed, focused, and more energized, by identifying our unhealthy leadership habits, we can detox old or negative habits so we can work at our peak and feel more focused, energized, and successful.

In this impactful session, Laurie will share the most common behaviors and actions that hold leaders back from success.

  • The most important skill for executive and leadership success in today’s environment

Leading Your Team to Success

Best audience: Corporate events, Leadership conferences, Associations, Sales, Marketing, Leadership events, All staff trainings, CEOs, executives, managers, all staff.

In many organizations, accountability has a negative connotation. Accountability is really about taking responsibility for your actions. It is a very powerful tool that can create more success in your life and work.

When managing a team, leaders need to be able to instill ownership and accountability in employees, and coach down through multiple levels.

The small things we do every day can either create trust and strengthen relationships, or chip away at trust and damage relationships. The trust you build can strengthen your integrity and credibility or damage your integrity and credibility.

The #1 Thing You Can Do Today to Increase Your Productivity

Best audience: Corporate events, Leadership conferences, Associations, Leadership events, CEOs, executives, managers.

This session is designed to teach managers and executives the tools for being more productive and effective as a leader so they can perform at their highest level.

In this interactive session, leaders will learn how to get the best from their employees so they have time for the more important areas of planning, visioning, and focusing on strategy.
