What is Magnetic Leadership?

The answer to that question comes from defining what it is not. Uninspired leadership that disengages employees is the “reverse polarity” of Magnetic Leadership.

• Think of the successful professional who may have climbed the ladder without ever learning how to play well with others.
• Think of leadership that does not connect with people because the vision and purpose are not relevant to them.
• Think of leadership that talks without listening.
• Think of leadership that promises without delivering.

If there is weak or non-existent leadership in an organization, it is like spraying a big can of people repellent into the air that employees breathe. It kills creativity, productivity and the spark that ignites new ideas. Those organizations risk losing top talent and cultivating people with promise.

Here’s the good news: You can create Magnetic Leadership in your organization. And you don’t have to look like a rock star or a celebrity to do it. You just have to have heart, be open to some organizational soul searching, and most importantly…

You have to be R.E.A.L. by:

• Taking an active interest in others
• Listening to people
• Acting decisively and consistently based on what you hear and do

You can transform your organization, energize your employees and boost your bottom line with Magnetic Leadership. With the R.E.A.L. acronym as your guideposts, you have the opportunity to look at yourself as a leader and ask some hard questions along the way. Each answer brings you closer to being a Magnetic Leader who inspires others in your organization.

What You Will Learn:

• Understand how to create a responsibility-based culture where innovation and creativity are paramount.
• Discover how to recruit the greatest people, have enough self-restraint to allow them to use their brains, and retain them for the long term.
• Learn about engagement and empowerment that creates productivity and profitability.
• Learn the appreciation techniques that will create a fortune of commitment.
• Understand the magnetic techniques of building loyalty.

Magnetic Leaders know how to energize their inner powers despite the outer pressures. Register for this session to learn about the irresistible force of superior leadership and how its magnetism results in increased productivity and corporate profitability.

Despite a universal understanding that good employees make all the difference to company success, surveys show that few organizations do a good job hiring the best employees.

Fewer still track the expense of hiring the wrong employees.

Still more surprising, even in the current recession, executives and managers report they cannot find the “right” talent.

Using the most popular selection methods, research shows that fewer than 20% of your new employees will ever become those top performers who hit and exceed targets month after month. But there are more specific steps you can take that will increase your success immediately.

During the webinar you will learn:

1. Why most hiring strategies are about as successful as flipping a coin
2. How skipping the resume produces better hiring results
3. How to use the science that predicts employee performance
4. Three small changes that deliver big savings for hiring managers
5. How to measure and report selection results

If you have ever said, “Now, why did we hire that guy?” you will want to join us for this 60 minute interactive session to learn what you can do immediately to improve your talent results.

Presenter: Deborah L. Kerr, (LinkedIn profile) Ph.D., co-founder and president of Affintus, will share her executive insight about how to find the real top performers in your candidate pools.

Agile principles are dominating the discussion in software development. As it goes mainstream, software practitioners in almost every vertical are utilizing what Agile offers.

It is only a matter of time before other professional disciplines begin to incorporate Agile for professional and organizational success.

Radical Management is one such incorporation. Started by Steve Denning and chronicled in his book The Leader’s Guide to Radical Management: Reinventing the Workplace for the 21st Century, it uses the foundational values of Agile and develops specific principles and practices for managers and leaders.

In this web seminar, you will initially look at the foundational values of Agile and discuss how and why they can be interpreted and utilized for managers and leaders inside and outside software development. Then dive into the specifics of Radical Management, the fundamental rationale for it, the defining principles and how those principles are acted upon.

There is NO doubt Agile values can be used by managers and leaders.

The challenge for them is the struggle to redefine themselves and their place in a business world that is rapidly going Agile. However, if they can cross this “chasm,” the business opportunities on the other side in today’s environment are significant.

Presenter: David Mantica (LinkedIn profile) – David Mantica has more than 16 years of experience in business to business continuing education in executive, product management, marketing, and operations capacities. He has product managed the initiation, development and delivery of more than 300 instructor-led and live, online training courses, in software development life cycle, IT, telecommunications, finance, healthcare IT, and marketing industries.

Work is no longer defined by where you go – it is what you do. Research conducted by Gartner expects that the number of worldwide remote workers will double between 2008 to 2014.

Remote and long-distance work will increase in volume and intensity, with people spending more than 80% of their time by 2015 working collaboratively at a distance.

There are a number of challenges however that come with virtual working:

1. Team members can feel disconnected from the organization,
2. There is an increased likelihood of miscommunication, and ….
3. It takes a different approach to build trust with virtual colleagues.

In this 60 minute webinar Michelle Moore will address the challenges of working virtually and provide tools and techniques to minimise those challenges.
