Courageous Leadership, does your organization have it?

Courage is the first virtue of organizational performance because it’s the lifeblood of leadership, entrepreneurship and innovation. But in times of change and uncertainty too many workers become safety-seekers, often to the detriment of their organizations.

We have high and often conflicting expectations of leaders. We want leaders to be reasonable but passionate, decisive but inclusive, visionary but explicit, and powerful but humble.

On top of all that, also be emotionally intelligent, caring, impartial, people-oriented, and of course, financially astute. The list is so long that it often leaves leaders scratching their heads, thinking: where on earth do I start?

The answer is courage. It’s the backbone leaders need to forge the future, face fierce challenges, inspire others, and drive the bottom line.

Important organizational concepts like leadership, innovation, change management, sales, and employee engagement all require strong doses of courage.

Join Bill Treasurer for this informative webinar that will provide practical strategies for building workforce courage so workers can become opportunity-seekers.

A proven approach for using courage to improve performance and counteract the negative impacts of workplace fear will be introduced.

When everyone is working with more courage, the entire organization is transformed for the better. Research shows that courageous workers seek out leadership opportunities, step up to challenges, offer innovative ideas, passionately embrace change, and are more productive. In short, courageous workers get work done!

Being a strengths-based project manager means playing to the strengths of those around us to build cohesive high-performing teams.

Following on from the March 6th webinar, we will look further into how being a strengths-based project manager means playing to the strengths of those around us to build cohesive high-performing teams.

Having started with our own strengths, Ruth Pearce (LinkedIn profile) will turn your attention to the strengths of those around us.

How can we see their strengths, how do we call them out in a sensitive way?

Attendees will use real life examples to practice spotting strengths and will walk away with practical tools to use when working with stakeholders, team-members, sponsors and people outside their workplace too!

When we see through the hazes of wild prognostication, the growth of the public cloud continues to be strong.

By 2021, we expect hyperscale providers to account for nearly 70 percent of the market.

Public cloud providers will continue to build cloud native offerings, but an increasing number of enterprises use cloud IaaS for mission-critical workloads.

To effectively consume cloud, enterprises need a solid strategy, but building an enterprise cloud strategy can be filled with tumult.

In this webinar, Raj Bala (LinkedIn profile, Gartner bio) Gartner Senior Director Aalyst will help you discover the steps needed to build your most effective cloud strategy.

Discussion Topics:

• Why
  • There are good (i.e., increase business agility) and bad reasons (i.e., the CEO says you must) to move workloads to the cloud
• What
  • This can be the toughest process as it requires extensive inventory of current applications, their interdependencies, and knowing what systems might need to be left to die naturally
• Where
  • The step that most do not fully think through
• How
  • Potentially, the hardest step, as it requires planning and potentially help from outside specialists.

Rather than waiting around for someone in the business to give you a problem to solve, wouldn’t you rather go out and solve a problem before it has even been defined or acknowledged in the business?

The discipline of business analysis is in the forefront of innovation. Business analysis is behind all process improvement in the organization.

Since the overall goal of business analysis is to add value to the organization how can you create and define innovative new solutions to existing business problems or come up with innovative ways of improving the business processes of the organization?
