Today’s times have caused us to need to look at leadership differently. I’ve always believed that traditional top-down autocratic leadership is archaic.
In today’s environment, I believe the following to be true:

-That there is a paradigm shift that leaders need to understand that “In order to gain more control you must we willing to relinquish control.
-That, as leaders we must follow four key principles and then get out of the way so our people can shine.
-That we miss out on critical components of creating a diverse workplace environment because many organization’s inherent processes cause dramatic barriers for people of color, marginalized groups and women.

-Do you believe that the primary form of cost savings and management is by cutting heads? I believe the opposite to be true and will share why.
-Are your future leaders fully vetted to ensure they are both qualified and trained for their next position BEFORE they receive that promotion? 98% of companies I deal with do not. I will share my 10 Steps for Developing Your Future Leaders.
-What does your annual turnover rate? Is it higher than you’d like? Do you have difficulty retaining people you’d like to keep? I will share with you how through Entrepreneurial Leadership these challenges can be solved.
