Facilitative Leadership® in India: July 21-22, 2010

Services [1]

Great leaders and managers get things done, and they care deeply about their organizations' success. But sometimes that's not enough; despite heroic efforts they may encounter roadblocks, lack of cooperation, and unforeseen delays.

To get beyond these hurdles, it helps to make a simple distinction:

Companies need managers, but people need leaders.

Success depends just as much on your leaders' ability to inspire and involve others as it does on their own personal effectiveness.

Interaction Associates' Facilitative Leadership® workshop explores the relationship between leadership and participation and offers a proven method for turning obstacles into opportunities. Seven Leadership Practices provide a framework for improving the effectiveness of team, project, and organizational leaders. Workshop participants will learn how great leaders inspire commitment and make people feel they are part of a larger, more meaningful effort.

The Project Management Institute has approved this workshop for up to 24 PDUs for Project Management Professionals.
