Sustainable Lessons from 25 Years of Intensive Research

How do leaders mobilize others to want to get extraordinary things done? What practices do great leaders use to transform values into actions, visions into realities, obstacles into innovations, separateness into solidarity, and risks into rewards? How do they create a climate in which people turn challenging opportunities into remarkable successes?

Award-winning and bestselling author, Jim Kouzes, has been investigating the practices of exemplary leadership for twenty-five years. His and his coauthor Barry Posner’s extensive research has produced solid evidence, compelling case studies, and enduring insights on what leaders do when they are performing at the best. In this Webinar Jim will guide you on an exploration of several of the most enduring and sustainable lessons he and Barry have learned from their recent analysis of over 950,000 leadership assessment surveys and from the writing of their two most recent books, A Leader’s Legacy and The Leadership Challenge, 4th edition.

As a result of participating in this Webinar, you will learn:

1. Who are the most important leader role models and what this means for the practice of leadership.
2. The singular attribute that is the foundation of all leadership — unchanged in that last 25 years and likely to remain predominant for the next 25.
3. The fundamental practices that are operative in personal-best leadership experiences.
4. What you must do to fully commit yourself to an organization, and what you must do as a leader to get others committed.
5. The ingredient that is absolutely essential to creating high-performing teams.
6. The behavior that is the best predictor of leadership effectiveness.
7. The quality that differentiates leaders from other credible people.
8. The practice that is the toughest for leaders to master.
9. What most leaders don’t do that is absolutely essential to becoming a better leader.
10. Why it’s what you do every three minutes that counts the most.
11. What it really takes to be the best leader possible – and why that isn’t talent.
12. The secret to success in life – seriously.

Jim will put all of this in the context of The Five Practices of Exemplary Leadership, the model that he and Barry Posner developed, and have refined, over the last twenty-five years. Marshall Goldsmith has said of their work, “Jim and Barry have done the most practical, comprehensive, and inspiring research on leadership that I have ever read.” His webinar will present the most up-to-date lessons from that research. Jim will challenge and provoke you to reexamine some of your basic assumptions about leadership and leadership development. He will also stimulate and engage you to take action to become the best leader you can be. Despite the adversity we face today, we ought to be excited and optimistic about the future. In these challenging and difficult times, we are likely to see some of the best leadership in a decade.

Kennedy’s Honor Guard at the Presidential Inauguration.
