Overview
What does it actually take to be an inspirational leader, someone who is capable of garnering the engagement and commitment of subordinates at all levels? Based on research with thousands of employees and leaders, this module will expose you to the characteristics and behaviors of those truly exceptional individuals who have transformed organizations, and in some cases, entire societies. If you think that one must be born to lead, think again. In this module, you will be exposed to what it takes to garner respect and legitimacy from others. Moreover, you will find that each of us has the capability to lead providing he/she has the courage to do so.
Participants will:
- be exposed to cases, speeches, and film clips of visionary leaders to learn about inspirational behaviors;
- take part in an assessment to measure their own behaviors and how they compare to the behaviors of inspirational leaders;
- learn the importance of vision, core values and how to establish both;
- through case examples, learn the formula for inspirational leadership and why it leads to engagement.
