Many
people believe leadership is about having power and authority over others. That includes telling staff and
management what to do. In other
cases, it is believed the leader is in place to fire whomever they want. Wouldn’t that be the quintessential
image of
the “Almighty Oz”? In all
likelihood, a leader with that mindset will create a “yes-man” culture. That company will most likely
experience very little growth and innovation.
On the
other hand, there are leaders that are intentional about relationship building,
they focus on emotional intelligence and they are great at empowering
employees. Those are the people
others desire to work under. Those
leaders understand the importance of creating a culture where communication is
high, employee contribution is valued and delegation is a tool used to bring
out the best in staff and management.
While
leadership is important, it still remains an elusive topic for most. To bring this subject to life, we will
have a very special guest who knows leadership as military personnel and a
civilian. Her name is Tanya
Smith. In addition to 24 years of
military service, she was also the acting director for New Jersey’s largest
residential program for male juvenile offenders.
Join us
for an extraordinary conversation about leadership. Call in to discuss and acquire tools to bring out the best
in others.
