L/MWS (8) Leading with Gravitas: Power, Influence, and Authoritative Leadership

2 DAYS

Are you aware that some leaders have a natural affinity to lead? Are you able to influence your employees and still emanate reference power (being trusted and respected as a leader)? Do you lead with gravitas - courage, communication, and composure?

When interviewed and asked to share one quality that defines a highly successful leader, Peter Drucker, business thinker and prolific author, postulated that"the task of leadership is to create an alignment of strengths in ways that make a system'’s weaknesses irrelevant."

Crafting a resonant, resilient workplace requires authentic emotional leadership.  Some of the qualities of a great leader is having the capacity to be self-aware, engage and influence, build organizational capability, and create a resonant culture.
