To be effective is the job of a Leader, whether he
works in a business, manufacturing operations, service-oriented
industry, university, army or government agency. The
leader is, first of all, expected to get the right
things done. Effectiveness has little correlation
with intelligence. While intelligence, imagination,
and knowledge are essential resources, only
effectiveness converts them into results. By
themselves, intelligence, imagination, and knowledge
only set limits to what can be attained. Effective
leaders first lead themselves (especially their habits
) before they can lead others. They work hard to achieve
personal and
interpersonal effectiveness..
Habits which encompass skills, attitude and knowledge
are powerful factors in the life of an effective leader.
They express one’s character and produce one’s
effectiveness -- or ineffectiveness. Habits are like
gravity pull, it can work with us or against us. It
is a powerful force, and if we can use it effectively
we can use the gravity pull of habit to create the
cohesiveness and order necessary to establish effectiveness
in our lives. This training program explore the habits
of effective leaders, compiled from insightful teachings
from management Gurus such as Peter F. Ducker, Stephen
R. Covey, and many others. This program includes discussions,
individual exercises, video, role play and group work
to give participants the best opportunities for learning
– and reinforce those learning into their lives.
