"To lead people, walk beside them ... As for the best leaders, the people do not notice their existence. The next best, the people honor and praise. The next, the people fear; and the next, the people hate ... When the best leader's work is done the people say, 'We did it ourselves!'"
— Lao-tsu

Before you begin each class, you will take a ChangeWorks® assessment customized for the course content that week.

Each week you will receive customized content based on those assessments that includes:

  • Theory
  • Glossaries
  • Best Practices
  • Workbooks with exercises for:
    • Clarifying Expectations
    • Accountability Standards
    • Your Integration Plan

During each class you will determine the underlying techniques of understanding change and how to make it work for you in your leadership role. 

During each intimate class, your small group will discuss your case studies and will discern alternate courses of action that can be applied immediately. 

During each class, you will develop your action plan to assimilate newly discovered skills to bring back to your workplace and begin to integrate immediately.

Why ChangeWorks®?

Human beings by nature are NOT resistant to change.

Human beings are resistant to LOSING CONTROL.

ChangeWorks® provides a leader with the understanding of different levels of tension. 

By paying attention to productive levels of tension, you will learn how to integrate these manuevers into your everyday work life. 

ChangeWorks® is a unique, visual, quick, effective and efficient way to support the development of your teams.  It is measurable.  It eliminates stagnant staff
relationships. 

ChangeWorks® is the tool that separates Essentials of Modern Leadership from other courses.  

Understanding the nature of change is the take away that will separate YOU from other leaders.






 

The Two Wolves

My husband Marc Riddell has an ancestral past with the Iriquois nation (Mohawk Tribe)  and we enjoy exchanging stories from our heritage.

Here is one pertaining to these upcoming classes.

An old Chief is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego."

"The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith."

"This is the same fight that is going on inside you and inside every person, too."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"

"It depends on which you feed!" he remarked.

As you reflect on the characteristics presented for the evil wolf, you may find that you have mimicked some of these traits from some of the leaders whom you are emulating.

As you reflect on the characteristics presented for the good wolf, you may be aspiring to build more of these values into your business and leadership style.  Modern Leadership contains more of the latter traits than the former.

So it is, that all participants will master those and in so doing will find themselves:
       

  •   Influencing others to enhance productivity
  •   Managing teams through a better understanding of  their abilities and challenges
  •   Realizing my own core strengths



If you believe you are ready to master change in a leaderful manner, don't delay. Take action at 484.769.2327 or kayte@essentialsofmodernleadership.com.
