Leadership Training: Leading From Any Position
Many people associate leadership with management believing that you are only a “real leader” when you have direct reports. This is a limiting mindset that stems from paradigms that caused many of us, because of hierarchy, to have been or have had, an ineffective leader. This is because we or they did not have the skills or training on how to lead. Leadership is a privilege, and while it can be a demand of hierarchy, you can make it so much more than that.
The distinction between managing, attempting to get things done through others, and leadership, building trust and teamwork, is influence. It is both influencing yourself and the people around you to create and achieve goals. With this mindset, you can truly lead from any position.
Mike D’Angelo, AICC President, and Taryn Pyle, AICC Director of Education & Talent, will help you establish this mindset to see and understand how to be an influencer and therefore a true leader for the people around you in a way that will always be difference making for you, and for them.
