THE SCIENCE OF LEADING WITHOUT LEADING
Leadership is traditionally regarded as tough terrain to master, with many heuristics and
homilies, but few scientific principles. Most of these treatments of leadership miss the
fundamental, counter-intuitive truth – great leaders don’t lead. Instead, they get others
to want to follow,. Leadership is the ultimate, magnificent act of free will on the part of
those who follow, and the awesome, magical secret of great leaders is that they have
figured out how to make that act happen consistently and predictably. CTR Factor
explores the science of gravitational leadership by examining the currencies that need to
be earned (Credibility, Trust & Respect), assets that need to be built (Results,
Relationships, & Resources), and investments that need to be made (Capabilities,
Character, & Competencies). This flagship keynote product from CTR Factor takes
audiences on a fascinating personal leadership journey of experiential learning that
transformed the speaker from cab driver to senior executive. The lessons learned along
the way are woven into a radically different leadership model, and leveraged to derive
specific leadership techniques that can be used the next day. Entertaining story-telling and
insightful model-building at its scintillating best.
women in leadership
LEVERAGING GENDER BASED STRENGTHS
Traditional approaches to women’s leadership have focused on how to navigate a world
that is still governed by guidelines skewed towards a different gender. However, these
INSPIRATIONAL SPEAKING approaches miss a key realization. Women’s natural, intuitive leadership styles are
actually better suited to the needs of the 21st century workplace and workforce than
traditional male approaches. This session seeks to harness the power of women’s
CTR FACTOR LEADERSHIP divergences and differences to create a competitive and sustainable workplace advantage
when it comes to leadership impact and outcomes in 3 specific areas, based on the CTR
Factor leadership model: results delivery, relationship building & resource acquisition. This
WOMEN IN LEADERSHIP paradigm pulverizing session takes the audience through 4 sequential modules of
leadership that build on their natural inclinations and talents: philosophy, strategies,
BOARD LEADERSHIP techniques, outcomes. You will never think the same way again after this session, and you
will not compromise your authentic self again ever. And you will find that it is working for
you. CTR Factor women get the corner office.

MAXIMIZING CREDIBILITY, TRUST, & RESPECT
BRAND LEADERSHIP Board governance is a perennially hot topic because of its critical importance for the
sustained success of the enterprise. Customary approaches to this topic include
exhortations around transparency, independence, protection, and succession. While these
ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP are important aspects of Board physiology, they miss the fundamental driver of Board
effectiveness – how well do they earn Credibility, Trust and Respect from their
LEADERSHIP IN TEACHING stakeholders. CTR Factor looks at Boards through this clarifying lens to establish and
assess their performance: Credibility through Examining functions, Trust through Enabling
functions, Respect through Envisioning functions. Within each of these categories, CTR
PARENTAL LEADERSHIP Factor looks at 15 mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive aspects of Board
performance. When we are done, you will have a superb approach to assessing what
LEADERSHIP IN RELATIONSHIPS areas of strength and opportunity exist for your Board, and how to address them.

WHAT IS YOUR BRAND CTR FACTOR?
Brand leadership is the fuzziest of fuzzy concepts. Wanna go from fuzzy to
fizzy in 2 hours? Look through the CTR Factor lens. Brand leadership =
Brand Credibility + Brand Trust + Brand Respect. How do you acquire
those three currencies? You will need to attend this session to find out,
but here is a hint. Do you deliver distinctive, consistent Results? Do you
build dependable, caring Relationships? Do you demonstrate superior,
relevant Resources? If so, you will impact downstream cognitive variables
like awareness, understanding, and interest, affective variables like belief,
liking, and intent, and behavioral variables like purchase, loyalty, and
referrals. But what are the antecedent variables to Brand Credibility,
Trust, and Respect, you ask? Can't give everything away here. But, rest
assured, you wil have the keys to the kingdom when we are done.
entrepreneurial leadership
LEVERAGING YOUR CTR FACTOR FOR SUCCESS
Being an entrepreneur is easy. Being a successful entrepreneur is tough.
We know. We have looked at entrepreneurship from both sides now,
from win and lose, and from up and down, to quote Neil Diamond. You
know the difference maker we discovered between success and failure as
an entrepreneur? Building respect with investors, customers, and
employees by being the smartest person in the room on the space you
are in. Building trust with the same constituencies by demonstrating
character. Building credibility with the usual suspects by delivering
results. Where do you stand on these dimensions with these key
stakeholders, and what can you do to improve your scores? You will find
out the answers to those questions in this session. Just make sure and
remember us when you become the next Bill Gates, and cut us in for 1%.
