The FoCuSeD™ Leader - Facilitator Lessons for Collaborative Leadership | Class Abstract | 4 days PDF Print E-mail

Trainer: Gary Rush, IAF CPF


Gary Rush’s 4-day highly interactive class explores what is "leadership", how is it different from "management", and how do you lead - it will enable you to make more of an impact at work. Great Leaders lead - they inspire, they engage, they make a difference. This is the Leadership model of the future. This class is ideal for those who want to inspire collective action through Collaborative Leadership. The workforce is increasingly disengaged - great Leaders have strong support from their workforce because they engage them. Fear and dictating only works for bosses – great Leaders inspire groups to go beyond their capabilities. Learn "how to" engage, and inspire your workforce. Up to now, great Leaders were Collaborative by intuition. I want the FoCuSeD™ Leader to be Collaborative on purpose. This class will expand your thinking.
