Based on the work of Barry Posner (LinkedIn profile) and James Kouzes (LinkedIn profile): Award-winning writers, and highly sought-after teachers in the field of leadership, they authored several books including The Leadership Challenge , Credibility: How Leaders Gain and Lose It, Why People Demand It , The Truth about Leadership: The No-fads, Heart-of-the-Matter Facts You Need to Know, and Encouraging the Heart: A Leader’s Guide to Rewarding and Recognizing Others . This presentation is based on the 24 page white paper The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership. They also developed the highly acclaimed The Leadership Practices Inventory (LPI) , a 360-degree assessment tool and The Leadership Challenge Workshop , both based on The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership model.

Projects and organizations demand more and more from team members and project managers today. Project managers who have good leadership and team building skills are more successful in developing high performance teams and meeting demanding project objectives.

James Kouzes and Barry Posner researched best examples of leadership, interviewing and surveying several thousand individuals for “keys” to each person’s “best” example of exemplary leadership.

From that research they identified five key leadership practices that they have validated and re-validated over the years through additional research and assessments.

Leadership is “common sense, but not common practice”. In this presentation, Jesse will examine what makes a great leader “GREAT”, looking at a common sense approach as well as Kouzes and Posner’s five key leadership practices.

Jesse will also look at what you can do to improve your leadership capability.

Whether you’re a project manager or project contributor, you will benefit from and enjoy this interactive presentation.
