Description

Gone are the days when leadership flowed strictly from top to bottom.  As people at all levels become more responsible for taking initiatives to advance organizational goals, the concept of “follower” and “leader” is certainly redefined. Today we are all responsible for helping shape and advance our organization’s goals, mission, and vision.  This workshop is based on book The Courageous Followers by Ira Chaleff.  Leaders and staff are joined in a common purpose.  This purpose is what drives, directs, energizes, excites, motivates -- leads -- us all.
