Taking Leadership to the Next Level by Using Power, Courage, and Purpose to Energize the Organization for Major Transformation and Change

A unique leadership seminar for senior executives targeting “Where the CEO Lives".


Grid International announces a unique Leadership Seminar for the CEO, targeting "where the CEO lives." The seminar explores taking leadership to the next level by using Power, Courage, and Purpose to energize the organization for major transformation and change.

Do you want to lead an organized economic entity that maximizes its returns to shareholders? Do you want to lead a truly visionary high-performance organization?

Most corporate efforts to increase efficiencies in recent times have focused on squeezing the existing systems to exact one more ounce of productivity and profitability. And while many of these initiatives have value, the question needs to be asked: Can we just continue to squeeze, viewing employees as controllable costs, or is there a new level of leadership that can encourage individual initiative and creativity, access personal entrepreneurialism within an organization, and provide greater purpose for all in their daily work?

Take your organization to a new level of leadership – a level that sees the company as a vital and growing entity, creates wealth for all stakeholders, and builds mutual trust and respect at every level.

PURPOSE

• Generate a candid and open communication process in your organization to ensure ongoing and shared purpose.

• Understand the role of group dynamics in your team to focus the power of shared purpose.

• Create a shared purpose where people feel “alive” and motivated.

COURAGE

• Understand the inherent energy of fear when it is managed rather than denied.

• Value confronting reality, “holding the tension,” and standing alone if necessary.

• Appreciate how courage in action accelerates energy, commitment, trust and respect throughout your organization.

POWER

• Examine the nature and role of power; power to control or power to create?

• Assess the effectiveness of your current use of power.

• Use power for creativity and innovation and generating commitment within your organization.

Our Vision

Grid is a world authority on human behavior in organizations.



We are the leader in developing outstanding

relationships that drive exceptional performance.



Grid delivers The Power to Change.





Our Objectives

 To deliver The Power to Change by facilitating productive and fulfilling organization relationships that make a difference in the lives of millions of people around the world.

 To provide return, opportunity, and recognition to Associates and Staff.

 To each enjoy the benefits of personal challenge, growth, fun, and pride in our work.

 As a byproduct, to produce a superior financial return for reinvestment growth and a value return to investors.

We Value



An organization culture characterized by:

 Commitment

 Positive change and innovation

 Open, honest communication

 A "what's right" rather than a "who's right" attitude

 Using conflict situations as positive sources of creative energy

 High standards, accountability, critique, and continuous improvement

Grid's management and leadership training approach is unlike any other approach to management and leadership training. True, lasting, and meaningful change is affected only by addressing the fundamental values and attitudes that influence behavior. Grid supplies the tools to transform ineffective and ingrained patterns of behavior into productive and dynamic action by shifting the responsibility for learning and change from experts or "teachers" directly to the hands of individuals.



How Grid's Leadership Training Approach Stands Out:

 We remove expert dependency from the learning we facilitate. Rather than listen and take notes from an expert's lectures, Grid uses carefully instrumented activities that produce experiential, team-centered learning. Participants investigate problems and create their own solutions, demonstrating the value of teamwork in a "real time" setting. This self-convincing approach instills greater understanding and ownership for team effectiveness and deepens commitment to personal and organizational transformation.

 Behaviors that are often considered too subjective to measure are defined in objective terms. Individual and team action is critiqued from multiple perspectives to understand the direct impact of behaviors and actions on results. Participants define and agree on the soundest behaviors and culture and compare them to actual behaviors and culture. Being able to see the gap is the essential motivation for change.

 Learning is theory-based. A comprehensive and empirically proven theory of leadership behavior provides the foundation for change.

 Grid International's Management and Leadership Training addresses the whole organization, through all levels, from the CEO down.
