There are a thousand great books out there helping us with perspectives on leadership. A lot of them are worth our time reading. I do believe that knowledge is obviously an important component of setting up newer managers for success or in helping existing managers succeed in creating teams that are hard working, energetic, committed and that win.
I think it is a huge mistake though to think that knowledge is the only ingredient in the “Great Leader” recipe.
I’ve had a growing number of industry managers tell me lately that they are disappointed in the lack of performance from people they hired whose knowledge credits were stacked high and wide. (University degrees, Dale Carnegie, Post Education Certificates etc).
While knowledge is important (I’m not knocking any of the above. they are very valuable), in my experience it isn’t always enough to be a successful leader.
In my experience, the often overlooked ingredient to turn people into Effective Managers & Leaders is a few cups of Courage.
That is where the upcoming 1st Time Manager’s 2 Day Boot Camps in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver set themselves apart.
Over the years, my leadership classes have been filled with great people who come to realize that they know what they need to do about the situations they are in. Knowledge in reality is not the problem.
What they really need is the courage to walk through the fear of addressing issues with people, communicating both up and down the company ladder, risking conflict: All things they’ll need to do to deal with the situations they have.
I understand that. Its a huge issue in today’s workforce and its holding a lot of Canadians back from what life would have for them.
I don’t want fear to ever stop you from achieving your best.
So, on top of laying down 2 days packed with the knowledge you’ll need to be a great leader, motivate teams, manage performance, communicate for clarity, handle change etc…
We’ll also deliberate on the fact that Courage is essential and comes with A.G.E., which is not what it seems. (If it was, my wife tells me I should have more than enough)
