| Uplifting Leadership How Organizations, Teams, and Communities Raise Performance By Dr. Alma Harris and Dr. Michelle Jones. Hong Kong 29th - 30th January 2015. |
| WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION : | ||||||
| What does it take to do more with less? How can you do better than before, or better than others? The power of uplift enables any organization to do more with less, beat the competition and perform better than ever. Leaders who uplift their employees' passions, intellects, and commitments produce remarkable results. Based on original research from a seven-year global study, 'Uplifting Leadership', offers insights into ways of achieving better performance. It explores how high performing leaders build effective teams and ensure that professional learning is maximized for improved organizational performance. As the pace of educational change quickens it is more important than ever that leaders, at all levels, focus on the right things. This workshop will look at a range of very different organizations, in three very different sectors, to highlight the similarities, synergies and synchronous aspects of uplifting leadership. It will offer concrete examples of leading against the odds to secure positive, productive and lasting organizational change. It will highlight that high performance is no accident but a conscious choice mixed with sheer determination. This workshop differs from many others on the theme of leadership in a number of ways. Firstly, it is based on contemporary evidence about what works. Secondly, it draws upon first hand experience from leaders in different sectors. Thirdly, it does not repeat the same old tired theories, ideas and advice about effective leadership but offers something new and different. Finally, it gives practical ways to raise performance by focusing on the power of collaboration in order to compete. |
