A highly interactive learning experience designed to provide senior executives and managers in organizations with the skills to act as models, mentors and coaches of their people, and to demonstrate to them the dollar value of their leadership.
Become the Leader You Have Always Wanted to Be:
So, you ve always followed the party line in the organizations you ve been in, and yet, you ve held on to a deep, dark secret: it s not working. And you re wondering if there s another way, one that s more in keeping with your own personality and values. The Gold Standard may change your leadership style a lot. Or, it may simply confirm what you ve always known: that you need to stand up and be counted as a leader who is a model of behaviour for the organization, a mentor of people and a skilled coach who is happy to share those skills for the benefit of all.
The Gold Standard is the creation of George and Kathleen Prince in response to the need for senior managers to understand their role in organizations. Many leaders are oblivious to the fact that many people look up to them for direction, and pattern their behaviour on them. If they see a harsh, punishing, hard-nosed individual with fearful employees, they often think that the leader s behaviour is correct, because obviously it s been successful. If, on the other hand, they see a fair-minded, helpful and strong individual to whom people flock for direction and coaching, then they themselves will become helpers of others. It s a Self-Fulfilling Prophecy either way.
The Gold Standard is a set of learning experiences that help you behave as the leader you are, as Model, Mentor and Coach. It is a way of interacting effectively with people. The Gold Standard establishes a productive working climate in your organization. It clarifies relationships in terms of the impact of how people feel about their work and each other. It installs positive skills aimed at supporting people, rather than criticizing and putting them down. It makes all those in contact with the leader (and the Leader s leaders) feel valued and valuable, and increases productivity.
Who Should Attend?
Executive, Senior and Mid-Managers who believe that they can have a positive impact on the productivity of their people and the bottom line of their organization
All those who have felt frustrated with the way organizations demean people, remove their sense of accomplishment, and turn them into low-productive components of a system, and have the power to do something about it.
All those who wish to counter the adage: The height of insanity is doing things the same way, and hoping they will turn out differently.
