You know the traditional method for teaching leadership skills to senior executives. Gather them into a classroom where they determine which "color" or "shape" among the choices on some four quadrant behavioral matrix best matches their leadership style. After that, they build a raft out of Popsicle sticks or haul each other over walls in team building exercises.
Sure, some companies do a much better job than this with their executive development programs, but even the good ones require executives to be away from critical operating issues for hours or even days. This usually results in new found executive skills like sending BlackBerry messages from under conference tables using Popsicle sticks.
We think there is a better way
to improve executive leadership skills.
THE 10 MINUTE LEADER, currently "under construction", will eventually take several forms. Probably one of them will be right for your executives. There will be a book (in late 2010) of short, pithy readings on vital leadership topics. There will be a website, amped up with experts, public and private discussion forums, webinars and peer executive coaching (also late 2010).
Right now, THE 10 MINUTE LEADER
is a service. For about $20 per executive per year, your company can
have access to the best and latest thinking on leadership -- meaty,
provocative readings on critical leadership topics that provide real
skills ... and each takes less than a minute to read.
And, right now,we also provide a series of short
(30-minute) webinars that go in-depth on critical leadership topics. We call these
Leadership @ Lunch On-Line. Please see the Current Service Offering button below for more information.
Check out a few examples of the readings and/or flip through a slide show of the entire concept.
