How to Improve Your Leadership Performance, Impact, and Influence
How have some organizations been able to sustain unparalleled success while others are sporadic and inconsistent? Simple… it’s their leadership. A team will never outperform its leadership.
A leader’s primary job is to create an environment where people feel safe, included, appreciated, valued, respected, inspired, empowered, and challenged. Employees need to know they have the resources and support to star in their specific role and make a meaningful contribution to the team.
Shift your focus as a leader from what you want from your team to what you want for them… and watch things improve quickly!
The key to raising your leadership performance and amplifying your impact and influence is a direct result of how well you master these five fundamentals:
- Vision
- Culture
- Servanthood
- Character
- Empowerment
Successful leaders create the type of high-performing culture that drives long-term results. They have a firm grasp of their identity, they uphold high standards of excellence, and they foster an atmosphere of collective accountability.
This program is vital for any leader who aspires to:
- Become the leader you would want to follow
- Attract, develop, support, and retain top talent
- Build a championship culture (align beliefs & behavior)
- Establish unparalleled trust, respect, inclusiveness, and buy-in
- Coordinate everyone’s effort to produce astonishing results
This program is ideal for the coach looking to improve their leadership performance (C-level, executives, directors, managers, supervisors, emerging leaders).
Why this program really works:
Leadership is never easy. Leaders today feel the challenges of change, expansion, or even industry-wide disruption before everyone else. But how leaders approach these challenges will either propel an organization forward… or hold it back.
So many organizations today have leaders that:
- Lead from an ‘Ivory Tower’ and don’t display empathy and compassion
- Neglect to show appreciation and acknowledge a job well done
- Fail to ask for their team’s input and perspective and become out-of-touch
- Micro-manage to the point that they undermine their team’s confidence
- Make decisions based on emotions/feelings instead of core values/standards
One of Alan’s most impactful professional experiences was the 10+ years that he worked with Nike Basketball. During that time, he developed meaningful relationships with Nike executives and NBA coaches – leaders with a variety of different styles, personalities, and strengths – but leaders who exceeded expectations and achieved greatness with their teams because they adhered to basic principles that created cultures of trust, respect, transparency, authenticity, appreciation, and constant development.
Alan now shares these principles and strategies with business leaders around the world and teaches the lessons he’s applied in his own life and business for the past two decades. He teaches leaders how to create high-performing teams by become high-performing leaders.
Success Simplified: Alan’s Three Fundamentals of Leadership Performance
Whether your organization needs some solid ground for new leaders to stand on as they gain experience, or a sure path for seasoned leaders to follow to help them embrace and navigate change, Alan will provide you with foundational principles to make your leaders more impactful and influential – and make their message more meaningful and memorable.
Perspective. Alan will show your leaders how to see things from different vantage points—not just those of a leader but of team members, customers, and vendors—to be sure they’re providing all that their teams need to produce deliverables on time and achieve team objectives. He will show you why you need to adopt – and live – the foundational mantra of Transformational Leadership, which is choosing to see the world through the lens of, “It’s not about me, it’s about you.”
Core Values. Alan will teach your leaders how to not only get crystal clear on your core values, but to use them as the framework to make decisions. Leaders that operate out of their core values and standards, instead of their emotions and feelings, become consistent. And consistency matters in leadership! Making decisions based on your core values makes you the type of leader that you’d want to follow.
Purpose. Alan will show you why your team will always work harder, have higher focus, and be exponentially more committed when they feel aligned with your organization’s purpose. When team members feel called to your purpose, they will buy-in and believe-in at an unparalleled level. And don’t confuse function with purpose. The function of a chair is to provide a place to sit. The purpose of a chair is to provide comfort. Purpose has a much deeper meaning
