Leadership Training 
Bill, in his work with CPA firms, CPA Associations and companies of all sizes, has been teaching leadership materials and coaching individuals to become better managers and leaders for the past decade. During this time, he has developed materials and delivered everything from keynote speeches, 1 day workshops, and week long training on this subject matter. Dr. Paul Hersey's teachings and research conclusions from his best selling book Situational Leadership® have always been a foundation for Bill's understanding of how to develop leaders and leadership skills.Recently, Bill contacted The Center for Leadership Studies, Inc. to discuss utilizing more of Dr. Hersey's materials in his own training. That phone call changed Bill's approach. Because of Bill's background of teaching in this area and his prominence in the CPA profession, Bill was granted special Affiliate privileges by The Center for Leadership Studies and has tailored the course layout to work with CPA professionals. Bill is now rolling out the training below to CPA Associations, CPA firms, and the businesses they serve, to help them better develop their leadership capability. When asked why Bill switched from teaching his own course materials to those provided by The Center for Leadership Studies, Bill commented, "Not only are Dr. Hersey's materials excellent, as the founder of the field of Organizational Behavior, his research and teachings are the most field tested and practical to implement. The problem with most leadership training is that while it is interesting and espouses values and ethics you should live by, it doesn't teach you how to better lead and manage. I should know ... I've been teaching in this area for a long time. With Dr. Hersey's materials, the training and feedback mechanisms are in sync and designed to help the leader -- and those that follow -- evolve. I don't think of myself as being in the business of training ... but rather ... I offer tools to businesses that will help make a difference in their success. I not only wanted the leadership training and coaching I did to work for the CPA profession, but I wanted it to incorporate all of the tools necessary to facilitate the kind of changes necessary to evolve. One final point! Dr. Hersey's training has predominately been to the Fortune 1000 level of company because of the resources required to support programming of this high caliber. As an affiliate of The Center for Leadership Studies, I am well positioned to bring a new level of excellence to the leadership training and coaching I do at a price the small and medium sized companies and firms I serve can afford." Situational Leadership® Developed for The Center for Leadership Studies, Inc. by Dr. Paul Hersey, COO Situational Leadership® is a two-day seminar that helps managers and/or supervisors understand how people are influenced and how the principles of the program can be used to develop strategies for increasing your organization's productivity and improving the quality of your manager's effectiveness.

Objectives: Module 4: Charting New Courses: 360 degree feedback People want to be good leaders. In the Charting New Courses module, the key objective is to help leaders develop the integrity that results from walking the talk - aligning intentions and behavior. This segment of the program converts Situational Leadership® feedback into action. Built around the highly regarded Lead survey, this rich experience provides a clear map to build successful and effective Situational Leaders. The 360 degree feedback provided though this module provides leaders with the confidence to change, fosters growth, outlines a clear path for personal development and supports organizational change. Module 4 is vital in order to be able to answer question such as: "How do we develop the best leaders possible? How do we make this the best place to work? How do we leverage Situational Leadership®?"
Module 5: Twelve O'Clock High (TOCH) Twelve O'Clock High (TOCH) is based on Twentieth Century-Fox's classic, award winning film Twelve O'Clock High®, starring Gregory Peck, and is designed to allow participants an opportunity to apply Situational Leadership® through a very powerful case study. This course has been revised and enhanced to enable the attendees to translate the behavioral sciences, principles and concepts into effective action. During this one-day training experience, the participants diagnose the various leadership styles and evaluate the performance of six characters in the film and diagnose group readiness levels during four different time frames. These decisions are made individually and then in teams. Participants then process their individual and team decisions to determine the extent to which synergy was achieved. This is a great way to review and reinforce the skills and behaviors the participants learned during Situational Leadership®. The film provides a significant opportunity to learn more about leadership, motivation, performance and readiness levels. It can either be conducted on the third day of Situational Leadership® or, many organizations use it as a follow up, three to six months after the initial workshop. Participants must have attended a Situational Leadership® program prior to participation in TOCH. |
