Overview

You want to be successful as a leader, right? Nobody moves into the leadership ranks set on failing. Yet many do fail, and many more just hang on for dear life! Becoming a leader is one thing; enduring and succeeding in a leadership role is quite another!

Building leaders who can truly thrive takes insight, experience, and practical tools. Drawing on over 30 years of working with leaders, leadership expert Bill Treasurer will share stories, insights, and practical tips about what causes leaders to flounder and fail and what causes them to succeed and soar.

Through a special partnership between HRDQ and Giant Leap Consulting, webinar attendees will get an exclusive discount on Bill Treasurer’s new Leadership Essentials Academy.

Attendees will learn

  • The challenges of building leaders.
  • The three areas you’ll need to focus on to be fully fit to lead!
  • The most common new leader malady – and how to cure it.
  • The critical question that all leaders need to answer before they can effectively lead others.
  • The first rule of leadership and why it matters.

“The webinar was thoughtful, insightful, and carefully organized to present concepts in a way that made them broadly applicable but with room to be tailored as needed. This included the instructor engaging the audience through polls and answering individual questions through Q&A, which was very helpful.”
