The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders

JD Frailey, Senior Consultant, FranklinCovey

Join JD Frailey for a special ASTDSTL presentation of  “The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders.”

The Challenge: In the ever-increasing war for talent, the stakes have never been higher. At a time when individuals have become the most vital economic resource we have, organizations cannot afford to lose the knowledge and abilities that exist on their team. A recent study found that the leading reason highly talented workers find employment elsewhere is an unsatisfactory relationship with their immediate supervisor. What’s more, it takes an understanding of the new demands on today’s leaders to produce results and create processes that ensure ongoing success.

The Solution: Organizations that want to retain their best and brightest must have leaders who understand the radically new paradigm from which the knowledge worker operates. The 4 Imperatives of Great Leaders provides the foundation for those in leadership positions to think, act, and lead from this new paradigm.

Attendees of the session will gain insight into the ability to:

• Inspire trust, as well as the knowledge to identify and address the four chronic problems that undermine success.
• Creating an environment where productivity and creativity thrive.
• Learn how to positively respond to team feedback, dramatically improve team relationships, and to adeptly and positively use accountability in the drive toward excellence.
