Leading for Innovation and Balance: A Nurturing Relationship

Organizations have traditionally treated professional and management development as if they existed apart from the fullness and richness of an employee’s life. The reality is that employees do not live neat, compartmentalized lives in which each separate concern operates within a closed system. This seminar presents practical ideas to help employees and managers lead more balanced lives, one of the keys to creating the secure environment which is part of a thriving innovation culture.

Learning Objectives

  • Understand the mutually supportive relationship between leadership and personal effectiveness.

  • Understand how the example you set by leading a balanced life contributes to the secure environment which encourages the expression and acceptance of creative ideas

  • Improve leadership effectiveness by helping you deal with such contemporary issues as:

    › Trying to do more and more in increasingly less time

    › Working harder and longer but still falling behind

    › Experiencing stress because of unresolved life balance conflicts

    › Having no time for creative thinking

    › Develop and implement a four-step process that will help you make life-balance enhancing choices throughout your life.

    1. Visualize the balanced, healthy state

    2. Identify the root causes that prevent you from achieving that state

    3. Develop a personal action plan

    4. Take the steps necessary to implement the plan
