The 7 Essential Leadership Competencies

A leader does not necessarily manage, but a manager needs to be a good leader. Why is leadership so important? Without leadership, nothing gets done. Leadership brings vision and ideas and sets the course or direction. Managers ensure execution. People don’t leave companies, they leave bosses. Leadership is the most important factor in staff retention and productivity. Often people are uninspired or disgruntled but don’t leave – they stay and become an anchor on the team, project or organization. What makes a good leader? Some people assert you have to be born a leader - in reality, the skills, traits, and attributes can be learned. Attend this webinar and you will learn how to become a better leader – whether you are new to the game or are an experienced leader – you will find valuable ideas in this webinar.

Since 1987 Michael has been consulting with businesses and organizations that understand the value of developing organizational culture and their people as a foundation for continual improvement, staff recruitment/retention, and enhancing organizational capacity.

His focus is on assisting organizations to create cultures where people want to engage and work. The ideal organizational, division, department or team culture is one where the values, vision and mission of the organization are explicitly linked and operationalized.

Values-based cultures feature enhanced job performance metrics, high rates of retention, and are emotionally and physically healthier for the staff.

Michael has worked with large multi-national to entrepreneurial organizations, government and NGO’s, and across the spectrum of executive, senior managers, supervisors and staff.
