Seminar Introduction
For the immediate future, business leaders will have to master the disciplines of uncertainty.
Looking at today's news on challenges to the corporate world, it would be fair to say that in the next 50 years; only 15 of the best 25 companies will still be around.What then are the real challenges of the 21st century economy?
The news today is not very good. Every time we think we are on the upside of the downturn, we get thrown for another loop, hit with another crisis, told it will be just a few more months before all this turns around.
It's times like these when tremendous competitive success can be achieved. It's times like these where companies can shift positions in the marketplace. It's times like these when leaders can become followers, and followers can become leaders, because we are in a period where everything is now going to open and unfreeze. The cheap are getting better, the better are getting cheaper. Cheaper, better and faster is the new normal.
Good service is not enough.Shoot for customer satisfaction. A constant drive to improve.
The worst mistake in strategy is to compete with your competitors on the same thing. You want to find a different kind of value that you can deliver to a different set of customers. Strategy is fundamentally about how you're going to deliver unique value.
Leadership is about influencing and character.The key to successful leadership today is influence, not authority.Leadership is a combination of strategy and character.If you must be without one, be without the strategy. Leaders must be able to think and do.
The road to servant leadership lies not in trying to fix or change others but in working on changing and improving ourselves. 'Everyone wants to change the world, but no one wants to change himself.'
To cope with change, the leader must be:
Passionately believe that they can make a difference.They envision the future, creating an ideal and unique image of what the organization can become.
Search for opportunities to change the status quo.They look for innovative ways to improve the organization.In doing so, they experiment and take risks.
Foster collaboration and build spirited teams.They actively involve others.
If you look at the Gandhis or the Mandelas and the Mother Teresas, they exhibit a form of leadership that is very appealing, which is to put the interest of others ahead of themselves.
Dalai Lama, who said once, 'If you seek enlightenment for yourself just to enhance yourself, you missed the purpose. If you seek enlightenment for yourself by helping others, you are with purpose.' That's the style of leadership that we increasingly need in today's world.
If formulating or implementing organization plans is an important part of your responsibilities, this one-day intensive training course is for you. It is specially designed to assist you in developing and implementing the strategic plan which leads to growth and profits for your company.
