Executive leadership training programs can sharpen and focus your strategic vision.

When you acquire the skills, expertise and processes of visionary leadership you magnify and telescope the effectiveness of your leadership behaviors.

In today’s globally competitive economy, all professionals, supervisors, managers and entrepreneurs must participate in executive level leadership training.

Your executive leadership training programs should prepare you to create strategic leadership visions that can meet the challenging demands of leading your projects, operations, employees and the activities of other stakeholders.

The principles and concepts of strategic leadership enables executives to formulate, communicate and execute on their powerfully compelling visions. What ingredients give your visions energy and inspire people to take positive actions?

Engage Them!

Your strategic visionary leadership challenge is to discover ways of blending together three essential ingredients for added spice and flavor in the aroma of your vision:

• 1)

Map It

•  – show them the avenue leading to bountiful opportunities and hidden treasures 2)

Model It

•  – reveal how all the moving parts will work together when you flip the switch 3)

Diagram It

 – draw out the specs, structures, synergies and signposts behind the vision

Empower Them!
Most executive leadership training, coaching and development programs need to invest more effort and devote additional time to teaching the fundamentals and strategies of human capital enrichment. 

Executive leaders should train themselves to focus their attention and concentrate their energies on:

• => Constantly tweaking and using a dependable, potent system for empowering their employees, associates, partners and key stakeholders; => Discovering and deploying some type of failure-resistant system for producing successful individuals and outcomes; => Turning their management-dominated strategic planning exercises into a

“total employee involvement program” 

In this Age where imaginative applications of Knowledge are the primary source of competitive advantage, it is foolish to rely on anything less than executives who expertly inspire and leverage their people’s potential through strategic, visionary leadership practices.

Encourage Them!
The acid test for executive leadership training programs reveals itself through these criteria:

1. Do leaders exhibit the kinds of desirable personal, organizational and societal traits, values and work patterns within their strategic leadership behaviors?
2. Are visionary leadership attributes – such as, continuous learning and growth, an eagerness or greediness for new things and a unshakable commitment to embrace broader perspectives – embedded in this executive leader’s DNA?
3. Which components, if any, of your leadership agenda are driven by the human capital developmental priorities of your strategic visions?

 

Without a vision, the people perish but without the hope supported by:

– Behavioral models which honestly reflect a set of high ideals, – An open exchange of, interactions with and search for new ideas, – A daily agenda that actively promotes excursions into self-discovery, professional education and community enrichment

 

Without all the seeds containing those forms of hope, your organization will find itself bleeding the emotional, spiritual and psychological strengths it needs to survive, flourish and thrive.

So the question remains: how will design your executive leadership training program to help you develop your strategic leadership skills, visionary leadership competencies and proficiency in enabling, educating and enriching your human capital assets?
