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.

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

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.
