Discover how great leaders create meaningful opportunities for challenge and growth People and organizations grow and develop when they intentionally pursue goals and challenges that stretch their skills and test their mettle. This workshop focuses on aligning the needs of the organization with the career aspirations of those they lead. Great leaders are opportunity-creators; they "open doors" of opportunity for others. Drawing on the concepts introduced in the bestselling leadership training book, Leaders Open Doors (ATD Press, 2014), participants learn radically simple ways to help people and organizations grow by creating challenging and meaningful opportunities. The emphasis is on equipping participants with specific actions and take aways that can be immediately applied back on the job. A leader has two primary jobs; 1. Leave the organization better off than you found it, and 2. Leave people better off than you found them. This webinar will help leaders accomplish both!
