Leading without Authority - breaking down barriers

CRM Learning is close to introducing a new learning video based on Leadership Made Simple. We are excited about it and will have a trailer/preview on our site in the next couple of weeks.

If you have experience with using the Framework for Leadership(TM), you won’t be surprised by a statement made on the video by John Van Sky, Bioterrorism Preparedness Training Manager, Orange County(CA) Health Agency:

“I’m a clinical psychologist by training, and I’ve never seen anything take down the barriers for folks quicker than the Framework.”

Isn’t breaking down a variety of barriers one of the ongoing challenges we face in our team leader, supervisor, manager, executive, or even parent roles? Key to breaking down barriers is honoring people and teams for where they already are - BEFORE asking them to do even better. The Framework does that in spades if your intention is right!

How have you have used the essence of Leadership Made Simple to make a difference in your situation. Send us your comments.

To your continued success!
