Unlocking The Leader in You in 2012
With the onset of an Olympic Year in 2012, I have spent the ‘quiet’ days over Christmas contemplating how I can best serve you throughout 2012. From comments, feedback and discussions with many aspiring leaders who visit Leadership Expert™, it is clear that you all want me to ensure I retain the ethics of researching, testing and reporting on leadership tips, techniques and tools that actually work in the workplace, business environment, schools and across communities as a whole.
I am committed to offering you independent, meaningful and useful information for you to be able to understand and apply whichever environment you work in and whatever position you hold. Within our leadership community we have top CEO’s, entrepreneurs, senior managers, middle management, junior managers, team leaders and many ambitious people who are seeking their first management position.
I am committed to serving you all. In many cases your companies have stopped investing in leadership and management training and development. Its my goal to access that training and legitimately provide you with the content for you to be able to build into your own personal development plan.
Over the course of 2012, I am therefore planning to research and distill programmes in:
- Self-awareness – looking at models such as the Johari window
- Self-management techniques – how top performing people profess to the application of certain ‘habits’ that make them successful
- Planning – strategic thinking and how to plan and increase your chances of success as a leader
- The art of communication. Influencing techniques, particularly the one I stumbled across recently which makes people say yes, when otherwise they would have said no!
- Leadership traits, leadership styles and leadership skills to make you into an authentic and accomplished leader in 2012.
- How the best leaders are also highly effective coaches and how they make use of coaches themselves.
- How to use certain programmes and techniques to motivate and inspire your teams.
- Skills to enable you to create and build winning teams.
- Problem solving techniques – enabling you to think laterally and literally and be one step ahead of the game.
Within all these topics will be a plethora of material you can use to help you have the winning edge and for 2012 to be your best year ever.
Its my mission in 2012 for you to reach your hopes, dreams and aspirations. To help me do this I also propose to seek your views by way of a questionnaire early in the new year, so I can be sure I am fully meeting your needs. So, if you dont already, then feel free to subscribe – I promise I won’t be bombarding you with ‘useless’ marketing information.
If there are any areas you specifically want us to focus on in 2012, please feel free to comment below. Wishing you an amazing 2012.
