360° Leader Public Workshop (VIRTUAL)

When leadership is discussed, the usual assumption is that it travels in only one direction: from a higher position to a lower one. But there is a weakness in this premise, because it presumes that all leadership is positional (based on the title of “leader”). John C. Maxwell writes that leadership is actually much more than that. As he says, “Leadership is influence. Nothing more, nothing less.” And influence can be developed by anyone, with anyone, regardless of position.

Practically speaking, this means that any person within an organization can have influence on others, whether they are “above” him, “below” him, or “beside” him. In other words, leadership can occur in any of the 360 degrees around the individual.

The 360° Leader is a one-day workshop, taught by a Master Facilitator, that offers instruction on how to lead in every direction (up, down, and across), teaching practical skills for attendees to increase their influence in a positive way with not only their staff, but also colleagues, direct supervisors, and even senior management. This creates greater employee empowerment and productivity – and, therefore, positive results for the organization.
