Self Leadership course-Module 1
“In this age of robots and the Internet of Things, globalization and a flattening world, complexity and rapid technological change, the rules have changed: The days of the big leader—Winston Churchill or John F. Kennedy, Jack Welch or Sepp Blatter—may be numbered. Ordinary people have access to leading like never before. We can now shape our destinies, and those of our organizations and societies, to an unprecedented extent. For this new landscape, we need a new kind of leadership—but what kind? What does it mean to be a leader in the 21st century?”
This passage is from the syllabus of my Leadership in Action courses at Columbia and St. Gallen Universities. But I don’t see why the course should be available to only those students who can afford to enroll in top business schools. So in the spirit of calling forth and empowering leaders everywhere, I have decided to make the same course available to you, wherever you are on the planet.
ENHANCE YOUR POWER TO
get whatever you want (well, as long as it’s legal and ethical, and not robbing a bank or opening a prostitution ring). Boost your speed from idea to accomplishment.
FREE YOURSELF
Take charge. Take a quantum leap in your self-determination and self-knowledge.
BUILD
that most precious currency of leaders—effective relationships, trust, credibility, shared values, shared interests—that makes people follow you.
DESIGN YOUR VISION
Learn how to stand in the future, build the big picture for yourself and with others, and kill resignation.
BUILD A ROADMAP
from the future to now that makes success inevitable. Break your vision down into strategic, achievable chunks.
BE UNSTOPPABLE
Act decisively. Learn to turn any obstacle into an opportunity.
I have distilled into this course what I learned the hard way, over three decades, working and living on four continents, about leadership. This methodology is at the heart of all my successes, from building a 28-people company in 12 countries and selling it, to teaching at top business schools, to publishing 7 bestsellers and reaching 50,000 readers, to helping CEOs and senior managers at 40+ Fortune 500 companies lead, innovate and meet business imperatives, helping them produce over $9 billion in profits or value-add (and, touch wood, becoming wealthy beyond my wildest dreams myself).
I CUT THE TALL GRASS FOR YOU
I have had the privilege to work with tens of thousands of leaders in all sectors, from heads of state like Nelson Mandela to people infected by HIV/AIDS in Haiti, from CEOs and senior managers to entrepreneurs, from government and UN officials to military people. Over time I was able to refine the system and make it into a fool-proof turnkey solution. My intention is that you can accomplish what took me 30+ years—in the course of one year, or half a year, or even faster.
Framework:
WHAT IS LEADERSHIP?
I help you define what leadership is—your own, original definition and criteria—so you have a clear picture in your mind of who you will be as a leader. This picture will be your anchor in the seas of change.
YOUR 100-DAY CATALYTIC PROJECT.
I help you create and launch a 100-day Catalytic Project so that (a) you get a quick win and return on investment, and (b) you develop your leadership in the laboratory of action—the only way to learn leadership.
THE GLOBAL LEADER PYRAMID.
I give you a 5-level system for powerful conversations so you can make big things happen—anything you want.
YOUR SELF-ASSESSMENT.
The first task of a leader is to know him- or herself. I help you assess your leadership systematically.
