Dare To Be Great Leadership: Strategies to Build and Sustain a Culture of Leading, Learning and Excellence
Great organizations are intentional and deliberate about building strong cultures and putting strategies in place to sustain that culture. Strong culture and courageous leadership do not happen by chance. Both are critical in today’s world where retention and recruiting are challenges facing every organization as they are the best recruitment and retention tools you have. This two-day workshop is applicable for people of all ranks and assignments and explores key strategies for building and sustaining a culture of Leading, Learning and Excellence built on a foundation of Curiosity, Candor, Belonging and Core Values.
The workshop involves reflection, discussion and dialogue and the courage to hang a question mark on things we have long taken for granted. It also challenges all of us to shift from thinking about ‘leader’ as a title or role, and think about leading as a verb, an action everyone can take. One of the keys to great culture is the understanding that while not everyone is in a formal leadership position, everyone is in a position to lead.
