Most leaders don’t start out with poor habits and behaviors. (They would never be as successful as they are if they did.) But a lack of self awareness combined with an overactive ego can trip up even the best of executives.

In this webinar, writer, researcher, and program director David Witt (LinkedIn profile) of The Ken Blanchard Companies explores some of the warning signs that an unchecked ego is working against you and your career.

Drawing from some of the best thinking in the field of ego and leadership, you’ll learn:

• The four warnings signs that your ego is hijacking your career and your leadership effectiveness
• The connection between ego and fatal business decisions
• How pride and fear keep executives stuck in a never-ending loop of either promoting themselves or protecting themselves
• Three ways to put ego in its place and maintain a healthy balance

Ego is an essential leadership ingredient, but only when it is kept in balance and not overused to the point where its strengths become a weakness. Don’t miss this opportunity to learn actionable ways to identify, evaluate, and if necessary, rebalance the way your ego is impacting your leadership effectiveness

This is a 1 hour seminar and attendees will be awarded 1 PDU for participating

Sometimes we wonder how Microsoft ever came up with SharePoint. SharePoint is the perfect enterprise integration platform and Microsoft is the perfect transactional, product-focused, marketing company. It just doesn’t fit, which is the main problem surrounding the poor adoption and use of the most powerful business application on the market, SharePoint 2010.

The reality is, for a large enterprise to gain the competitive advantage and efficiencies SharePoint can provide, it must look at HOW or better yet WHO is driving adoption.

Here is why the SharePoint BA is so critical. It isn’t about governance or basic administration. Yes, those things are important, but they are the chicken before the egg. The egg is USE!!!

We are right in the middle of the transformation of power in IT systems moving from geeks to the users, because the users are becoming geeks. SharePoint is the pinnical of user enabled IT power.

This web seminar will discuss at a high level

• The vast potential real world applications for SharePoint.
• ASPE will dig into the traditional role of a business analyst
• And they will discussi what the roles and responsibilities would be for a SharePoint business analyst

The optimal goal is to provide details on how organizations can increase the use of SharePoint in the enterprise, which will save a significant amount of money and time and lead to much quicker time to market.
