Courage Goes to Work: How to Build Backbones, Boost Performance, and Get Results
Few things have the potential to galvanize an organization as much as a bold future. Setting a strong strategic direction for your organization is critical. Even your department and project teams will benefit from focused planning. Unfortunately, people think that strategic planning expertise is solely the domain of highly specialized, external consultants who have to bring their special brand of mojo. Fortunately, there are tools and frameworks that are easy to use and follow and do not require multiple PhDs to decipher.
This workshop draws on the concepts that have been used to create strategic plans at major universities such as MIT, UC Berkeley, USC, Michigan State, Purdue, NC State, and many others. The concepts have also been used for profit and non-profit entities such as Equity Office Properties, Aldridge Electric Incorporated, and the Georgia Center for Child Advocacy.

The study of leadership development has grown to be very complicated. We often get stuck thinking about leadership in terms of matrices and competencies and modules. The simple truth is that to be a leader is to open doors of opportunity for others. To be most effective, leaders need to be opportunity-creators. Drawing on the concepts introduced in the new book, Leaders Open Doors, leadership expert Bill Treasurer shows how leaders help people and organizations grow by creating meaningful learning opportunities.
Open Door Leaders focus on aligning the needs of the organization with the career aspirations of those they lead. People and organizations grow and develop when they intentionally pursue goals and challenges that stretch their skills and test their mettle.

People have high and often conflicting expectations of leaders. Be reasonable but passionate. Decisive but inclusive. Visionary but explicit. Powerful but humble.

The answer is courage. It's the backbone leaders need to step up to the plate, face fierce challenges, inspire others, and drive the bottom line. Important organizational concepts like leadership, innovation, change management, and sales, all require strong doses of courage to be effective.
