According to Warren Bennis, Professor of Business Administration at the U. of Southern California, "Management is getting people to do what needs to be done. Leadership is getting people to want to do what needs to be done. Managers push. Leaders pull. Managers command. Leaders inspire." Your leadership is what pulls the company forward. The most successful business owners are constantly refining their vision and their ability to communicate it. Your investment in your own growth, and the insights you gain, will pay off in company growth, personal satisfaction and community participation. Extended DISC - Individual Behavior Style Analysis

Vision, Mission and Planning SessionsAs the Cheshire Cat said to Alice in Wonderland, “if you don’t know where you’re going, any road will do.” Individual owners, partners and executive teams need to periodically retreat from the day-to-day demands of the business and reassess (or simply confirm) their long-term goals. Getting above the fray for a few days, or even a few hours, pays enormous dividends and reduces wasted effort. Once you’ve experienced a facilitated planning session, you will wonder how you ever got along without them! |
"Leadership and management are two distinctive and complementary systems of action. Both are necessary for success in an increasingly complex and volatile business environment...strong leadership with weak management is no better, and is sometimes actually worse, than the reverse. The real challenge is to combine strong leadership and strong management and use each to balance the other."
-- John Kotter, professor of organizational behavior, Harvard Business School
