Transformational Leadership
Developing the Next Generation of Ethical Leaders
“A culture of discipline is not a principle of business; it is a principle of greatness.” — Jim Collins
Leadership does not exist in a vacuum. Leadership requires action, business judgment, integrity, and
consistency. Today, more than ever, the current business climate will require such attributes in leaders of all
types, and especially HR leaders at all levels. This session will examine
the core concepts of leadership and examine the way leaders, past and Expected Outcomes
present, shape culture. Participants will learn how to…
The morning segment will make the distinction between civilization (those ♦ Communicate the importance,

The afternoon session moves from the imaginative to the real, from the and leading during tough times
hypothetical to the concrete. We will first examine a number of actual
business issues facing HR managers and executives and then look at solutions to the various dilemmas
suggested. Program participants then will consider how they would react to these situations from various
levels of thinking—from the lowest form (survivalist) to the highest form of leadership (transformational).
Participants will come away with not only a clear vocabulary for discussing leadership and ethical issues, but
they will also understand how their own leadership style impacts their abilities to become a significant
strategic player within the organizations; and consider ways to move from low-level behaviors (when they
are not at their best) to higher levels (when they are at their best).
This session incorporates highly-interactive presentations, relevant team exercises, pre-session readings,
and post-session online discussion boards on how to best implement the session’s key concepts.

Human Capital Strategies
Talent Acquisition, Development, and Retention
From the smallest startup to Fortune 500 companies, talent management is both a critical component of
future growth and success as well as an area of exasperation, inefficiency and mixed results. Every
business depends on having a pipeline of quality people yet the human
capital strategy is often misaligned with the business strategy, and Expected Outcomes
processes are rarely integrated, leveraged or measured—and talent Participants will learn how to…

♦ Rediscovering Recruiting: Weaning internal recruiting professionals away from utilizing Internet

♦ Crafting More Effective, Values and Competency Based Job Descriptions: Why Human
Resources should never write job descriptions without the Hiring Manager’s active involvement.
♦ Accelerating Development: Best practices for on-boarding, leveraging data for rapid development,
and the strategic use of feedback to avoid derailment of new or transitioning talent.

Change The Way You Lead Change
Leadership Strategies That Really Work
Popular wisdom suggests that fewer than 20% of all change initiatives are really successful. More alarming
still for top managers, a survey of 1087 corporate directors, reported in BusinessWeek in 2005, found that
31% of CEOs fired by their boards were removed because they
mismanaged change. Why is this happening? Expected Outcomes
This session will focus on why conventional wisdom about change, e.g. Participants will learn how to…

workshop are the result of a series of studies that have examined more and results of a change initiative
than 300 changes and over 8,000 individuals who have lived through
them. In writing the book, Professors Herold and Fedor asked executives to think of an unsuccessful change
initiative, and identify the key factors that were responsible for the failure. They found that, while almost all
advice about organizational change focuses on a few steps applied to a single change, few people actually
lived in a "one change at a time" environment; rather they lived on a "roller coaster of change," with
overlapping changes being driven by different events, led by different executives, and originating from
different parts of the organization.
Leaders need to develop realistic frameworks for organizational change, and implement a holistic change
model that defines and justifies the proposed change, and takes account of the abilities of those who will be
asked to lead and implement the change.
