Authentic Leadership-Building Cultures that Attract, Retain, and Inspire Greatness

Presented by David Irvine
Free Seminar, Please RSVP

May 16, 2011 (Point Grey Campus)
Please register before this date to ensure event is not canceled.



Program Summary:
Leadership is not what it used to be. Building a culture that attracts and engages great people today requires an entirely new philosophy and approach. Those you serve – whether they are your employees, customers, alliances, team, or family members – want more than a job description, a list of quarterly objectives, and a performance review at the end of the year. They want to be inspired with an authentic experience of being around your organization. Creating this kind of experience for those you are accountable to goes beyond titles or techniques. Leadership presence lies at the core of leadership practices. In learning what to do as a leader, you must also learn how to be. Those who get this will be leading the next generation of leaders.

Organizations that foster and integrate authentic and accountable leadership at every level are simply unstoppable. If you are committed to evolve your culture in this way, then this learning experience will be life-changing.

You Will Learn:
• Learn the true source of leadership power.
• Discover the keys to building a productive and sustainable culture.
• Arouse deep trust and commitment.
• Get to the real meaning of loyalty, and how to achieve it.
