Follow Me; The Bold Call of Leadership


Peak Performance Leadership
Retention, and full engagement. How do we do it? Our success as leaders lies in our ability to keep talented people engaged and fulfilled. Today’s workforce has changed. Loyalty to an organization has become a thing of the past. Studies show, however, that a manager’s relationship with their employees is the number one factor in determining an employee’s happiness, motivation, and loyalty. In this session we look at what employees want from their jobs today, and why it’s crucial that we as leaders provide it. The question we want to answer is how do we attract and retain great people? We also look at what qualities and habits a manager must strive to possess in order to keep their work force fully engaged. Leaders who exemplify these practices inspire greater productivity; increase morale; reduce employee turnover; and create an atmosphere of trust while bringing out the best in their people.

In this program James will show you how to:

  • Implement the essential qualities and habits of inspiring leaders
  • Create an individualized retention strategy that will immediately lower your turn-over
  • The ten reasons why employees hate their managers and how to avoid them
  • Why and how strength-based teams outperform all others
  • Identify team de-motivators and replace them with a culture that inspires excellence
  • How to tap into the higher levels of employee motivation
  • Motivate employees by connecting purpose with their work
  • Create an undivided focus in your workplace
  • Reward and renew those around you to keep them happy, motivated, and loyal
  • Improve performance using Emotional Intelligence
  • Increase effectiveness with the correct use of accountability and coaching
  • Avoid the most common pitfalls leaders make
  • Double your leaders for explosive growth

As a result of taking part in this session, participants will walk away more motivated and committed to the task of becoming better leaders. They will have a clearer picture of which areas in their leadership they need to culture; and they will be equipped with the tools mentioned to help them achieve fantastic results. Participants will be entertained by James’ use of humour, relevant stories, and abundance of content; all combined for a thought provoking session, and designed to help people become peak performance leaders.
