You Can Be Their “Best Boss Ever”

What to Do and How to Show Up

Do you remember what it was like working for the best boss you’ve ever had? You probably worked harder for this person than you have for anyone else, before or since. You most likely contributed extra effort, enthusiasm and creativity to your job. And you felt really good about yourself.

Now you are the manager and you have some decisions to make:

• How good a leader do you want to be? Would your staff say that you are their “best boss ever?” Would you like them to?
• Or, are you satisfied with being a solid, average boss, one who gets at least OK results from your staff? (Hey, your employees seem content and no one above is complaining about your unit’s performance.)
• In other words, do you really want to make a difference as a leader or is your chief priority to keep yourself safe and secure—and liked by everybody—in your job?

This presentation challenges you to transform yourself into a superb leader and lays out what this will require from you and how you can go about it.

We look at the two critical aspects of your leadership:

1. Your external environment–how you operate, what you do, your skills of engagement
2. Your internal world–your habits of thought, beliefs, assumptions, intentions, how you choose to “show up” each day as a leader

Here’s what you will learn:

• Three “external” ways that the best leaders fully engage their staff
• Three “internal” mindsets that drive extraordinary leaders to create extraordinary results
• Where you should focus your own growth as a leader
• The benefits that await you when you become one of their “best bosses ever”

Particularly suited for:

• Managers who are ready to raise their own effectiveness as a leader
• Top level managers called upon to coach and support the development of leadership capacity among their direct reports
• Leaders of project teams or matrix/cross functional teams who seek to inspire their team to greater accomplishment
• Individual contributors and functional specialists who aspire to move into a formal leadership role in their organizations
