The seminar
Leadership best practices
This seminar shares proven leadership methods with anyone who wants to improve their organization. Too often leaders attend a great seminar, read an inspiring book or sit through informative training only to fall short in implementing it back at the shop. This session focuses on how to make what you learned "stick" — using straight-forward, real-world scenarios, Collision Advice shares methods for leading your team so improvements actually take hold and are sustained.
This program includes
- 01 How to avoid the "flavor of the month" mentality with your team
- 02 Understanding the difference between abdicating versus delegating
- 03 How to install a "How can I" attitude versus an "I can't" attitude within your organization
- 04 Understanding that without consequences there are no rules
- 05 Understanding the "try, risk, grow" strategy
- 06 How to avoid becoming a "seagull manager"
- 07 The power of words
- 08 The power of ONE
