About the Program
Effective leaders make a difference by finding ways to sustain people’s level of commitment and support especially in the difficult periods all organizations experience at one time or another. Sustaining momentum is a key leadership domain. Typically people cannot sustain their levels of commitment to, and engagement in, organizational purpose and goals on their own. This non-engagement results in poor performance, limited productivity, and an erosion of the bottom line. People need consistent affirmation of their value and contribution to the organization in order to know that their efforts are appreciated. This can be accomplished through acknowledgment.
Leaders can tap into the power of personal commitment and dedication by acknowledging people in an authentic, heartfelt manner. Leaders who model true acknowledgment behavior will inspire others to do the same and to want to dramatically increase their levels of contribution to the organization.
This program is highly interactive and includes a Leadership Acknowledgment Self-Assessment™, case studies, role playing, and a personal leadership action plan. Participants will receive The Power of Acknowledgment by Judith W. Umlas and a workbook.
