In this session we will cover a brief introduction to the research by Kegan and Lahey where they discovered that behind each of our habits is a strongly held belief that not only keeps us in our groove, but also fights any change that threatens the status quo.
We will discuss why personal growth and increasing our mental complexity is so important for agile and business transformations in today's VUCA world to succeed.
We will create your Immunity To Change Map which is a simple way to bring to light the your personal barriers to change. We will start by outlining your commitment to an improvement goal. Then we will sketch out the things that you are either doing or not doing that prevent progress towards the achievement goal. The Map then identifies competing commitments, as well as the big underlying assumptions behind those competing commitments.
The objective is to pinpoint and address whatever beliefs and assumptions are blocking you from the changes you want to make.
You will leave this workshop with a better understanding and tools to overcome the forces of inertia and transform your life and your work.
Most people believe personality traits are fixed characteristics that are present at birth and persist throughout an individual’s lifetime. Recent research, however, indicates these “fixed” traits are simply the symptoms of a person’s belief system. These beliefs can be so strong, in fact, that they positively or negatively influence every aspect of an individual’s life: sports, business, relationships, parenting, teaching, and coaching.
According to Carol S. Dweck, one of the world’s leading researchers in the field of motivation, there are two main belief systems, or mindsets, that people can possess. These mindsets strongly influence the way individuals respond to success and failure, and in Mindset, Dweck uses research, examples of well-known business and sports leaders, and specific scenarios to demonstrate how changing one’s mindset can profoundly affect the outcome of almost every situation. Dweck also explains how understanding the basics of mindsets can help in accepting and understanding relationships and the people who comprise them

A presentation to cover the essence of Decision Making for young minds. Covers - What are bad decisions and what factors can assist you in Quick Decision Making?
Various researches have shown that the majority of organizations, especially in the developing countries, have more of operational thinking rather than strategic thinking at the core of its management approach. Strategy has become an overused and at the same time, misused world in management world where we take it as obvious statement for something important we say about our management and business. In the face of the competition and change that exists in today’s market, organizations and their leadership must take strategic thinking approach in order to move the organization forward toward a new and more successful future. This session starts with an exercise of test of strategic thinking level of the participants and thus explains the meaning of strategy and being strategic. It exposes the difference between operational thinker, strategic planner and strategic thinker. The disciplines, approaches, competencies, critical areas and personal attributes of strategic thinker will be introduced with along with the explanation of topic ‘what limits our strategic thinking’. The session ends with the explanation of the methods of developing strategic thinking among the managers and leaders of the organization and how we can utilize such strategic thinking in our business in order to achieve higher goals of the organization.
This is a brief power point presentation by Omuse Frankline Oyese, a PhD student at Kenyatta university to colleague student in may 2018. It outlines the main elements strategic thinking.
Presentation led by David Gurteen from Gurteen Knowledge within the 'Individual' stream of the World Class theme at the APM Project Management Conference 2016
As a Leader you make decisions all the time but at times, you have to make really difficult decisions. What would you do? Would you think carefully through your choices and then make the decisions with enthusiasm and confidence? Or would you react with hesitancy or delay to “buy time” and hope that the problem would be resolved by itself?
How wonderful it would be for you to think through your options and improve your chances of making high quality decisions by fully understanding the principles of decision making and applying the right decision making process.

True Greatness; The Battle of Humility vs PrideNick Skytland
A discussion at Clear Creek Community Church given on 29 August 2010 on the topic of Humility. This presentation is based on C.J. Mahaney's book "Humility: True Greatness", which is a relatively short book, but one that is packed with great biblical insight and practical application for our lives. The book is highly recommended for anyone who wants to understand true greatness.
The famous Confucius, founder of the Five Relationships theory, was a Chinese philosopher, a political analyst, a teacher and the father of the founder what can be called a religion or philosophy known as Confucianism.
“Have among yourselves the same attitude that is also yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God something to be grasped. Rather, he emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, coming in human likeness; and found human in appearance, he humbled himself, becoming obedient to death, even death on a cross.”
- Philippians 2:5-8
Leaders lead people, not Institutions. Jeffrey Krames demonstrates how this is the philosophy of Pope Francis by citing 12 leadership lessons from the Pope’s life. Some of the lessons are standard business common sense, others reflect the counter- cultural and surprising leadership secrets.
Some of the lessons are
• Lead with Humility
• Don’t Change – reinvent
• Choose Pragmatism over ideology
The book is short- as it should be
Enjoy summary
Leadership books abound. Yet there are very few that put Values first before all those leadership skills. In this book, Harry Krammer explains the Four principles of Value-Based leadership and has shared his personal experiences to validate how these principles do work .
When Leaders engage in Self-reflection ( Principle # 1) followed by Balance, True-Self-confidence and Genuine Humility, then the organization has a much greater chance of leading the Values instead of with Egos. He also shares why positive core business ethics create greater shareholder value. One excellent point he discusses is the difference between what is legal and what is right.
Talent Management and leadership development are far more effective when approaching these two elements from a Values driven position. After all, organizations are all about people united to achieve those big, hairy audacious goals that would be fare ore difficult if not impossible to achieve individually.
Silo thinking is also viewed within the circle of Leadership. When this happens, my turf or silo becomes bigger than the organization’s big vision and this creates poor performance.
Another advantage to leading from a position of high ethics is motivation and team engagement. Teams do not come together naturally, but “ are developed purposefully and with intention”.
The end result from Values to Action is precisely that action or execution and implementation. Failed execution can more often than not be laid at the feet of leadership and not extenuating circumstances.
Values are not bullet points on a Corporate website or motivational phrases on a poster in a lunch room.. Some companies talk a good game and have plaques on the wall stating their Mission & Values, but their day-to-day actions tell a different story.
Leaders should Value Values – Values Create Valuation

How can you define the traits below and what are your thoughts on the importance of these traits
to leadership today?
Touch on all the following traits in your responses:
Integrity
Ambition
Failure
Risk
Trust
Courage
Solution
Integrity: Integrity is the quality of a person how he/she is being honest and having moral
principles.
My thoughts about integrity:
Integrity is the most important skill of leadership today because with the help of integrity the
leader can manger their team and build a trust between the co-members.
Ambition: Ambition is the ability of a person to do something or achieve something.
My thoughts about Ambition:
Leaders have strong ambition skill so that they can achieve success with the help of team
members. Ambition implies works and discipline to achieve the targets in an organization.
Failure: In simple words, you can say the lack of success or not achieve the success is a failure.
My thoughts about Failure:
Failure is an important part of life. In fact, the failure is necessary because it teaches to the
person how they survive if they don’t achieve the success. Failure as much as it hurts but we
learn the greatest lesson from the failure so the failure is a most important trait in today’s
leadership.
Risk: Risk is the probability that an actual return or outcome on an investment will be positive or
negative. In other words, you can say the risk is the potential of gaining or losing some values.
My thoughts about Risk:
The risk is a leadership quality in today’s life. A leader is a best when he has the ability to take a
risk for the business.
Trust: Trust is that where someone is depending on something or someone that can be tangible or
intangible.
My thoughts about Trust:
Trust is a leadership quality which helps to leaders for maintaining a relationship between the
trustor and a trustee. In leadership, there is no word more important than trust.
Courage: Courage is the ability to do the things which are not expected of someone.
My thoughts about Courage:
Courage is the key to great leadership because if you facing some difficult situation where you
need to courage their team members to do some task which is not easy. Leaders have the ability
to do courage their team members so they can do the task easily..

2. Why humility?
• Jim Collin’s “Level 5 leaders” are humble,
but iron willed, ambitious for the
organization but not necessarily for
themselves (Hayes & Comer, 2010, p.3)
• Stone & Patterson’s (2005) research
revealed that humility is one of the
behaviors of the servant leader, which
they describe as: “A humble means for
affecting follower behavior.”
3. Humility through the ages
Shedd says, “One of the most difficult
challenges for any leader is to remain
humble in light of the success that the
leader has achieved.”
Bill Gates said: “Success is a lousy teacher.
It seduces people into thinking they cannot
lose.”

Marshall Goldsmith in What Got You Here Won’t Get You
There, defines 21 stupid things that leaders need to stop
doing now. The root cause of virtually all of these
behaviors is the ego of the leader.
1. The ego that tells the leader that he knows everything
and is always right.
2. The ego that tells the leader that she is better than the
others who are subordinate.
3. The ego that tells the leaders that he does not need to
play by the rules.

5. Humility through the ages
The question of humility has been a
leadership issue through the ages:

little. He works without self-interest and
leaves no trace. When all is finished, the
people say: ‘we did it ourselves.’”
~ Lao Tzu

• Ancient Greece: The Ancient Greeks had
a word for the loss of humility and the
triumph of the ego: hubris. Hubris is the
outrageous arrogance where a person in
power overestimates his or her own
competence and capabilities, gradually
loses touch with reality and (in Greek
tragedies) succumbs to a tragic fall.

It’s humbling to recognize that God is more

These things are not our possession; they are
gifts from God and we will ultimately give an
account for what we do with what we have been
given.

greatness in the next generation.
Sets the standard
of building an enduring great
company; will settle for nothing less.

17. The Payoff of Humble Leadership
Armour lists the following 8 dividends of
humble leadership:
1. Humility lets us dismiss concerns about
being the center of attention, so that we
can step aside and let others shine.
People don’t tent to trust people who
insist on taking all the credit or hogging
the spotlight.

Newsletter, Aug. 15, 2007. Retrieved from http://leaderperfect.com/newsletter
18. The Payoff of Humble Leadership
2. Humility leaves us open to what others
can teach us, no matter what their station
in life. As a result we learn and develop
wisdom more quickly, because we let
everyone be our mentor.

Newsletter, Aug. 15, 2007. Retrieved from http://leaderperfect.com/newsletter
19. The Payoff of Humble Leadership
3. Humility lets us treat even difficult people
with such respect that we help them feel
worthwhile. People do not typically invest
their trust in someone who makes them
feel invisible or insignificant.

Newsletter, Aug. 15, 2007. Retrieved from http://leaderperfect.com/newsletter
20. The Payoff of Humble Leadership
4. Humility preserves a spirit of gratitude. A
spirit of gratitude does more than perhaps
any other character trait to keep our outlook
on life positive and healthy. Sensing this,
people are unlikely to put great trust in a
leader who is ungrateful, for (unconsciously,
at least) they realize that ingratitude is a sign
of other character flaws.

5. Humility allows us to confront our own
failings and take valuable lessons from
them. Nothing is more harmful to trust
than a leader who lives in denial or who
never learns from things done poorly.

22. The Payoff of Humble Leadership
6. Humility allows us to be more patient with
those who are still learning and thus
prone to mistakes. We see in them a
reflection of our own need to learn and
improve. Appropriate patience is critical
in building trust, for impatience breeds
anxiety and even fear among those we
lead, the very antithesis of trust.

Leaders who hold others accountable
must be open and willing to be held
accountable themselves. Otherwise, a
double standard is at work that is inimical
to trust.

8. Humility keeps our curiosity alive. Aware
of how much we don’t know, recognizing
that we have our own pattern of blind
spots, we are eager to explore and learn.
After all, people don’t normally trust
“know-it-alls.”

about mourning.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the
Tishbite, saying, 29 "See how Ahab has humbled
himself before Me? Because he has humbled
himself before Me, I will not bring the calamity in
his days. In the days of his son I will bring the
calamity on his house."
