Do you want your organization to perform at its full potential? Then you need to start developing your leadership team to help employees exceed their potential so that you can unlock yours. Great leaders can harness the talents of the organization to achieve stretch goals. Without strong leadership, you risk your organization going in multiple directions and ultimately going nowhere.
Today, organizations on the move require leaders who can simultaneously drive today’s success while preparing the organization for the future. These leaders optimize current business models while envisioning the possibilities of what the organization can attain in the future. It takes courage and humility to understand there are no leadership experts.
“The best leaders are students of leadership. There is no such thing as an expert leader, it doesn’t exist, you must choose to be a student of the subject,” said Simon Sinek, an inspirational speaker on business leadership and author of “Start with Why” and “The Infinite Game.”
Are you a new manager? Have you been recently promoted? Has your span of control grown over the past year? Are you ready to take the reins of a new business venture? Then the Greater Reading Chamber Alliance (GRCA) has just what you need to excel in 2024 and beyond!
GRCA has been busy analyzing and assessing the competencies, skills and behaviors leaders need today to be successful and drive their teams, departments and organizations forward into the future. And it goes well beyond acquiring more knowledge. The leaders of tomorrow require the courage to push through their comfort zones and appreciate seeing the business landscape from new and different perspectives.
GRCA is excited to introduce two new, game-changing programs that will challenge participants to stretch their understanding of the role of a leader in today’s environment. The Executive Leadership Academy is a fusion of graduate-level content with real-world application. The premise of the Academy is to provide senior managers and/or those with senior management aspirations with the opportunity to work among peers in an experiential setting to learn and apply key concepts to their organization. Participants will explore how the external environment influences the organization, learn the key principles for establishing highly effective teams, and drive engagement to foster innovation all while understanding how their decisions impact the bottom line of the business. The Academy culminates with a formal presentation providing participants with the opportunity to demonstrate their executive presence and personal communication style.
Many “old school” norms and expectations have fallen away and are no longer true or serving anyone. Accelerating change and the associated uncertainty and ambiguity create upset, resentment, intolerance of differences, and threatens well-being, enthusiasm and hope for a better future. If you want to understand how best to prepare for your professional future, develop disciplines that convert knowledge into wisdom, and enjoy personal empowerment with transferrable value into the future, the Essentials for Professional Mastery Program is for you.
GRCA invites all professionals including accountants, attorneys, administrators, engineers, human resource practitioners, nurses, managers, and others who are ready to progress to the next level of their careers and achieve extraordinary results to participate. This innovative program will challenge you to push beyond current thinking and the myriad societal myths and misperceptions to be a consummate professional. The program highlights that it takes determination and perseverance to be successful, yet the well-worn path of yesterday is insufficient to be on track to enjoy success and well-being going forward.
Mastery begins by distinguishing the most common professional blind spots, means of self-sabotage and causes of career dissatisfaction. From greater self-awareness, participants become empowered and enthusiastically enroll in how these can be overcome, bypassed and transformed into opportunities for tremendous growth.
