Learn Coaching, Leadership Training and Management Skills

- John Maxwell

• Are you concerned about long term planning or focus only on the day to day problems and annoyances?
• Do you allow the organization to make investments into new technology, processes, training and tools or do you prefer to postpone the investment and be under budget?
• Have you written and shared clearly defined goals?
• Do you hold yourself and your staff accountable to high performance standards?
• Does your staff work on projects and with customers without you looking over their shoulders?
• Do you deal with difficult conversations with customers, staff and peers or do you avoid the situation?
• Can you admit your mistakes freely?
• Do you allow mistakes to be learning events?

We sometimes lack the courage to take action and then feel conflicted for being an avoider. We use the term “FearAbility”.

“FearAbility” factors diminish our ability to be effective, capable, and skilled leaders. Don’t let the FearAbility factors inhibit you, rather, allow the courageous leader in you take control!

Sincerely,

Michael W. Kublin and Jan Mayer-Rodriguez

“I enjoyed the Leadership Journey very much. More importantly I have learned much about other styles which is very helpful in understanding how and when to proceed with initiative. Change management was also a great tool for me as in today’s economic environment there is much change across the board but especially in sales. Having the tools to help the team adjust to change has already been of benefit. I would highly recommend this class to every leader out there and because I believe everyone is a leader…everyone would benefit.”

- Kauley Jones, VP Sales Immuno Laboratories

“This Leadership Journey was the best program I have been to. It helped me to gain some perspective on the point of view of others, particularly when you consider their “type.” Good instruction. You can quote me…”

- Bill Stanton, Communication Corporation of America
“The Journey provided the overall ability to step back, assess current roles, and provided amazing diagnostics via the tools/instruments regarding leadership styles for myself and others.”

- T. Strong, Accelerated E-com
“At first I was reluctant to attend the Journey and considered it “just another class, more training, etc”. I discovered it to be a great opportunity to be with and learn about my colleagues. We opened up and shared much of “who/why” with the team. As time went on I got a real appreciation for the class. I feel I have really grown; it was worth every penny! I share my development deck with my staff for coaching purposes and I’m learning to step away from the technical roles, leave that to my team, and focus on development, coaching, and team collaboration.”

- B.B. Director Technologies, American Express
“I don’t know what you did or how but wow did they change!!” Each person changed a behavior that was special for his or her personal development. One now listens instead of talking. Another stands up for himself and the third has much better boundaries.”

- B.W. IBM Global Services

- Harvey S. Firestone

The second PeopleTek Leader of the Month Award goes to Carl Larkin.

Carl was rated against the PeopleTek learning categories, input from his staff, customers, and vendor partnerships.

Carl is a visionary and strategic thinker by nature. He starts by formulating his creative ideas and then builds a plan. He develops a communication and change strategy, and then delegates to those with the skills to carry out the objectives. He is the first to tell you, “I am not the detailed person”. I have a wonderful team to carry out our plans and grow as leaders.

Carl recognizes the “Magic Dust” (special skills and abilities) of himself and others and he enables them to grow and develop as leaders. He is relentless in pursuing his business dream and it has really paid off.

PeopleTek has had business dealings with Carl for over 3 years. It started when he took over a new team and decided that they were very good, however he wanted to raise their skills to the top performance in the company. They had critical projects that needed extreme attention and leadership.

Carl and his leaders participated in our Team Leadership Journey program. During the program a project was selected to become a “1″ rated organization. All the project plan steps were worked out with his leadership team during the process and other days to “work on the business and not in it”. Carl said the group always had tons of talent that was going unnoticed and they needed to come out and demonstrate why they were the best. The team pulled it off by delivering extreme value to their customers.

A recent customer of Carl’s said that: “Carl can see the big picture and gets others motivated and inspired to achieve it”.

Carl’s courage and commitment are great because even though they were ranked very high he did not stop training and developing his team. He decided they all needed even more coaching to reach the next level of success so they began a Leadership Journey II process together.

This reminds me of all the great sports figures that excel at their profession; they all have coaches and trainers to help them get even better. Carl feels the same about business.

Carl went an additional mile and approached our company to do a “Train the Trainer” program with the Leadership Journey. He felt that the only way you can really apply the concepts of anything is to teach it to others. His Directors rose to the occasion, stretched themselves into a totally uncomfortable position and have carried out the program without flaw. (this I thought couldn’t be accomplished).

His team was rated a “1″. Carl is well liked by his customers. His staff can’t say enough about how much they’ve grown as leaders. Others are recognizing these changes. Carl is a tribute to all leaders of all levels and should be very proud of his accomplishments. I can’t wait to see what is coming next from him. I can tell you it will be wonderful.

Congratulations Carl!

Sincerely, Mike

Bill George provides the following definition of authentic; “genuine, worthy of trust, reliance, or belief”.

Do you view yourself as an authentic leader?

Would your direct reports agree? What about your immediate boss and their chain of command? Do you view them as authentic?

We all have our own style, behaviors, and passions. Ideally we are given the opportunity to be ourselves, but how do we handle it when we need to conform to differing styles?

Stepping out of our comfort zone can help us grow and expand our skills. This is positive.

Having to adapt to differing styles that impact our ability to be authentic will cause stress and anxiety. This obviously is not positive.

So what can we do? We need to first validate what’s important to us, know what motivates us, and have clearly defined vision, mission and goals both professionally and personally.

We need to assess the roles we play and the positions we have. If we exclude being true to ourselves and don’t have a balanced life both at work and home, and we’ll never become truly authentic.

Sincerely,

Michael W. Kublin and Jan Mayer-Rodriguez

AUTHENTIC LEADERS DEMONSTRATE THE FOLLOWNG QUALITIES:

• Understanding their PURPOSE (passion)If you lack purpose and direction in leading why would anyone want to follow you?
• Practicing solid VALUES (behaviors)The values of a leader are shaped by their personal beliefs, developed through study, introspection, and consultation with others and requires 100% integrity.
• Leading with HEART (compassion)Engage the minds and hearts of your employees through a sense of purpose.Greatness (and results!) are achieved when more than just our minds contribute to the task.
• Establishing connected RELATIONSHIPS (networks)A detached leadership style often used when providing strategy or delegating will not lead to success as much as developing close and enduring relationships will.
• Demonstrating SELF-DISCIPLINE (consistency)Converting values into consistent actions lends itself to building respect. We must admit our mistakes and not let ego or emotion impact our actions.

1. What’s the purpose of my leadership? Do I really want to devote my talents to business?

2. How can I find a job where I can make a real difference?

3. Do I have to check my values at the office door?

4. Is it possible to have a meaningful career and successful family life? Is it worth it to work so hard?

5. How can I stay true to my values when there are so many pressures to compromise?

6. Can I develop close relationships with my subordinates and still achieve my ojectives?

In the business environment, authentic leadership is a fundamental requirement for generating peak performance.

Some companies can make money, even in the absence of authentic leadership, but they can’t come close to realizing their full potential without it”.

- Daniel D. Elash, PhD

• Is someone people like working for and with.

Studies show these to be the top 5 motivators in the workplace:

• Job Challenge
• Accomplishing something worthwhile
• Learning new things
• Personal Development
• Autonomy

Lower in the list of motivators were:

• Pay (12th)
• Chance of promotion (17th)

- J. Marriott jr.

Despite hearing throughout the years that motivation only comes from “within” we believe as leaders we have the ability to influence, and yes motivate others.

You’re heard us speak about “magic dust” (strengths and passions). Identifying what our team members are passionate about and recognizing and utilizing their skills goes a long way towards motivating them.

Creating an environment that is non threatening, encourages risk taking, addresses conflict in a healthy way, and takes the time to build relationships and appreciate differences fosters motivation (and creativity).

Finding out what makes your team proud, how they feel they add value and knowing and

rewarding what they view their greatest accomplishments to be will set the stage for motivation and ultimately results!

Sincerely,

Michael W. Kublin and Jan Mayer-Rodriguez
