Leadership Peach: Module 5

Module 5 (Morning Session)
November 6, 2023 at the Byron Welcome Center
8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.

Deeper Dive: Transformational Leadership 
Transformational Leadership epitomizes Leader Engagement and is the antithesis to the micromanagement and laissez-faire styles of Leadership. This module addresses the key components of this Leadership style to reinforce prior program learning. The attendee should be able to benchmark his/her style as the module proceeds: This is a key learning point that links back to Knowing Thyself.

Deeper Dive: Eliminating Work Backlog
Workflow, no matter how well designed, will invariably encounter constraints and backlog. The validated techniques in this learning module work in all environments even as they can be scary to the uninitiated. The focus is on amplified throughput of product or service to generate revenue. Bottom line, these techniques work if used with diligence and long-term intent.

Deeper Dive: Learning to See
Learning to See is an interesting concept for many aspiring and current Leaders. This learning module addresses tactics, techniques, and procedures that the artful Leader can use to better understand what is really happening within the organization via the use of Visual Management and other heuristics designed to impart information.
