Leadership, Motivation and Accountability for High Performance Audits

Great organizations need leaders who see their role differently than just being super technical staff. This highly interactive course will help staff cross the threshold toward becoming super leaders by understanding what makes a good leader, how to motivate others, and create an environment of accountability for high performance. This course will examine the traits, characteristics and styles of successful managers and leaders that can be learned and practiced, as well as why people in leadership positions often fail. We will explore ways to inspire and motivate staff through constructive coaching, growth opportunities and appreciation. This session also explores the communication tools, approaches, and techniques to inspire a new level of performance accountability, self-awareness, innovation and commitment through empowerment and ownership.
