“All At Once”
The one thing in your business that changes everything!
Leaders today are living in what is arguably the most disruptive time since the beginning of the industrial revolution. The leaders that emerge at the top of their game will be the ones who not only adapt but disrupt the very industries they wish to lead. However, disruption for the sake of disruption is a waste of time, effort and resources and downright damaging!
According to the research of Richard Foster, Yale University:
“The average lifespan of a company listed on the S&P 500 has decreased from 67 years (without disruption) in the 1920s to 15 years today”.
Looking forward, the questions we must boldly face today are:
- Do you as a leader know how to tap into the single most important factor that will determine whether your organization stays at the top of their game or fade off into irrelevance?
- Do you and your organization know what will be the differentiating principles of those that will not only reach the top but also stay there?
- Do you know what the number one determining factor of loyalty in both today’s highly skilled workforce and customer base is?
In this presentation Dov Baron will share with you:
- How you can precisely discover what it takes to tap into the psychological motivations and drivers of your most talented team members and your best customers.
- You’ll discover why so many leaders fail to follow through on their decisions.
- You will discover how to precisely how to have them take dynamic action right away.
- Discover why working more diligently on your technical skills could put you out of business.
- Discover what’s transforming current business leaders in the new global marketplace
This is an exciting and innovative presentation designed for those who are committed to being true industry leaders who thrive in this and the next generation of business and leadership!
Evolving Next-Gen Authentic Leadership
The Alchemy of Turning Leadership Deficits into Gold (Perfect for the multi-generational family business)
Simply being born into a position of authority no longer guarantees that people will willingly follow you (if it ever did!) Today there is a deep-rooted and ever-growing dissatisfaction with leaders who appear to be entitled and who act self-serving. While no one can change the circumstances of family roots, it is possible and necessary to evolve the culture into a new model of leadership. A model that not only stewards the family legacy but also integrates it into the necessities of being a contemporary leader. Leadership that includes being grounded, empathetic, compassionate, passionate, purpose-driven and sincerely authentic.
Such an evolution is no longer just an option. Business today exists within a global realm and requires a new kind of greatness that both embraces and fully utilizes that global aspect. But how do leaders find, embrace, and develop that greatness so that they can become the eminent business “monarchs” the world needs?
In this interactive presentation, Dov walks each of the participants through the internal journey of “From Knight to King” that demonstrates the integration of authentic leadership by giving a penetrating insight into the four types of knights who are on the path to becoming king (or queen). Each of the knights demonstrates an aspect of a leader that can become dominant and overpowering. The key to effective leadership evolution is to recognize and integrate each of these Knights into the King (or queen).
Here is an overview of the elements required to become a monarch:
In this training, Dov Baron takes apart the structure of knighthood and lays it out in a contemporize understanding of leadership.
Everyone who has elevated to the position of leader has in some way shown some natural ability to lead. Nevertheless, we tend to lead in the way that is most familiar, or natural to us. However, we find that those who rise to the top are those who have the ability to grow outside of their natural bound by collecting and coalescing all of the leadership archetypes skills and uses them when and where it’s most appropriate.
Below are the four primary leadership archetypes you will need to become a monarch:
- The Power of the Red Knight: The Red Knight is a leader who symbolizes passion and drive. A lead that has the ability to move things forward and make them happen.
- The Power of the White Knight: The White Knight is a leader who symbolizes deep empathetic and compassionate care for those they lead. This leader has the ability and the drive to see their people as individuals. The white knight sees trees when others can only see a forest.
- The Power of the Green Knight: The Green Knight is a leader who symbolizes driven by the desire to have a purpose and create a legacy. The green knight leader has the ability to see the forest when others only see trees.
- The Power of the Black Knight: the Black Knight is a leader who symbolizes driven by a desire for ever-deepening self-knowledge and wisdom. The black knight has a rare ability to remain on task without the insatiable pull for approval. Because of this Black knights are the trailblazers.
As you read through the overview of each knight there’s a good chance that you felt a certain affinity to one as a dominant and maybe even another on had a secondary pull. That being said, it is crucial is that as much as you are pulled to one, you are not just one of them. Leaders have to take their strengths and expand them to integrate all four archetypes.
If a leader fails to integrate all four or does so in a haphazard or isolated manner such a lead can be extremely detrimental and destructive. Potentially destroying companies, tearing apart teams and effectively chasing away an organization’s top talent
So how do heritage leaders become not just worthy, but truly ready to own the worthiness of their position? By embracing the journey from Knight to Monarch in a way that enables them to assess where they are now, where they would ideally like to be and to create the path that will get them there, both in and outside of the family business and legacy.
Fiercely Loyal Employees …
Finding and Keeping Your Talent
The world has changed, and so has everything we know about becoming—and remaining—an effective leader when it comes to retaining employees – especially Millennials. In a 2014 Global research study, the number one issue facing CEO’s was that of retaining top talent.
Many leaders today are left scratching their heads in confusion as to why many of their very best people simply pick up and walk away… particularly when they seem to be offering great salaries and upward mobility. As you’ll find out in this presentation what we’ve offered in the past and what motivated people to be fiercely loyal no longer works.
Successful Leadership today requires not just loyalty but FIERCE loyalty. So why is Fiercely Loyal so important? Because it’s the difference between someone waking up inspirited to work for you, thinking of your company as a place for their future, versus being in a place where they want to use the skills and abilities they got from you to take them away from you and on to ‘something better’. The fiercely loyal employee has a deep sense of connection to your organization because it becomes something bigger than them. As such they become evangelical about the organization making them a top recruiting resource.
We are in the biggest workforce demographic change of all time, which means that in the immediate future, corporate winners will be decided by the Millennial generation. Those who fail to attract and retain Millennial talent will lose. It’s as simple as that.
Loyalty has become the single most essential ingredient in every successful organization especially with the average cost of turnover to an organization is between 1.5 – 2X the annual salary of that employee. Therefore, the question becomes: How do you develop the kind of leadership and culture that will have your people become not just loyal but Fiercely loyal?
In this Live Interactive Strategy Session, Dov shares how to develop Fiercely Loyal Employees by focusing on:
- What Creates Loyalty today?
- The Characteristics of a Notable Leader
- Creating a culture the generates fierce loyalty
- Why Purpose Matters More Than Profit in creating a stronger bottom line
- The 4 C’s: Cooperation, Collaboration, Contribution, Community
- The Power of Story Telling
Fiercely Loyal Customers …
Getting Your Customers to Fall in Love with Your Products, Services and Brand.
Keeping customers loyal has become one of the biggest challenge organizations face today because the values of your customers have changed. The research shows that today’s buyers have far less brand loyalty than the previous generations. Today’s customers, especially Millennials (now approaching 40 at their eldest) want to look good, feel good and do good.
The old rule of business was that a company had to create a professional image. As you will see in this presentation if that is your focus today, when dealing with Millennials you will actually be pushing them away.
Today’s leading businesses understand the number one priority is to create a genuine connection with their customer. This, of course, is not new, the connection has always worked in creating customer loyalty. However, the major difference is the Millennial consumer, doesn’t simply want it they demand it!
Today’s customers are no longer willing to simply buy from you; you have to get them to buy into you. They want to do business with transparent organizations that are purpose driven.
64 percent of consumers point to shared values as their main reason for working with a brand, and 90 percent expect companies to operate responsibly to address social and environmental issues. 64 percent of consumers say they purchase socially responsible products whenever possible.
The companies that are not purpose driven, transparent and socially responsible are already experiencing their customer’s dropping them like a bad date.
The cutting edge companies who will dominate have a simple yet profound burning question on their minds: What has to happen in order for us to have our customers fall in love with us?
So how do you create a deep connection with your customers and have them fall in love with and become Fiercely Loyal to your organization?
In this Live Strategy Session, Dov shares how to develop Fiercely Loyal Customers by focusing on:
- Find out why your organization has been unable to build the authentic leadership needed to create a fiercely loyal customer base.
- You will have a direct experience of how your business can stand the test of time in the disruptive customer dominant environment.
- Discover why knowing how to share your organization’s story is the magnet that will pull your ideal client to you.
- Uncover the specific strategies and brain science to have your customers think of your brand with love.
- Solve the mystery of why your customer base is already eyeing up your competition.
- Discover why “Community” is killing retail outlets, and what you can do to have your customers see you as a center of a community they deeply desire to be part of.
If you are in a business that recognizes how people buy has dramatically changed, and you want to make sure that you are at the leading edge of having them not only buy from you but into you and your organization make sure you bring Dov Baron in right away.
Full Monty (Authentic) Leadership…
How authenticity increases loyalty, productivity and profit.
The new generation of high performing leaders understands the value and importance of business and success being people-driven. Not only are they using the latest technologies and strategies to disrupt their industries, but they also recognize something old-school leaders never truly grasped: Soft skills (like Emotional Intelligence and being Purpose Driven) have the greatest impact on your bottom-line.
In this interactive presentation, Dov walks each of the participants through developing leaders who can lead themselves, their teams, and whole organizations more effectively… Because You Can’t Outsource Authenticity!
We all know the Hans Christian Anderson story of “The Emperor’s New Clothes.” Tailors manipulate an Emperor’s grand sense of self to have him believe he’s wearing the finest fabric ever made. Rather than admit that he can’t see the fabric he denies the truth. Furthermore, when he goes out in a parade with his “new clothes” everyone goes along with the hoax because they too don’t want to look foolish or challenge the powers that be. The hoax is only revealed when a little boy who only knows how to tell the truth gives others the power to do the same.
What this means for your business is this when your leader (like the boy in the story) stands up and reveals the truth s/he empowers others to do the same. The leader becomes “one of us” and we (human beings) are driven to bond with those who speak a truth we have feared to speak. Think Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Full Monty leadership is about removing the masks of who we appear to be and revealing who we really are to ourselves and to our people. This, in turn, removes the barriers the block loyalty, productivity, engagement and ultimately profit.
Make sure that you catch this presentation to find out:
- How companies with leaders who embrace vulnerability outperform competitors with bigger and better resources
- How vulnerability truly has the power to Generates Fierce Loyalty
- How the current and prevalent leadership style may be plaguing your company and negativity impacting your bottomline
- Three sentences guaranteed to generate fierce loyalty
- How to make sure your top-tier talent doesn’t go to your competitor
- Why being a Full Monty Leader automatically generates leaders inside your organization
- How vulnerability is the ultimate charismatic trait
Dõv Baron’s “Full Monty Leadership” is inspired by such leaders as Richard Branson, the Dali Lama, Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, Jack Welch, and Larry Winget.
Discovering Your Legacy and Impact Potential
What’s next for the lead who is ready to step away from the top.
Who we see ourselves as is so often defined by what we do, but what happens when it’s time to step down?
Stepping down from a position of authority and power can feel a lot like a loss of identity.
When the sun goes down on our career, it’s easy to think that our moment, our hour, our day in the sun has passed…It has not!
There comes a time when we all must ask ourselves what is likely the most difficult question we will ever ask ourselves, “Who am I”. This question is particularly challenging when who we had seen ourselves as is no longer apparent.
The critical moment for many of us comes when we have to make the shift from being able to answer that question with ease to suddenly feeling that instant cold sweat of knowing that to say who we ‘were’ is not the truth of who we ‘are’.
Having made your mark in the world and received the accolades and recognition that goes along with doing so is a pretty wonderful achievement and an exhilarating feeling. However, when we are no longer in that position it’s easy to feel like we have somehow lost ourselves.
One of the greatest challenges of being a “champion”, whether in sports, business, on the screen, or anywhere else, is that when we no longer stand in the spotlight, it’s easy to feel like we have somehow become invisible.
How we see ourselves has a profound effect on how effective we are in the world. Make no mistake, when our identity is no longer as solid as it once was the impact can be devastating to our self-esteem, self-worth, our finances, and our relationships.
One of the most important things to do is to change the game so that you can still win past your previous career and status because you are greater than your past achievements. The fact that next-gen leaders can reinvent and change careers as often as every four years is a great example because our body of knowledge and experience can actually do that with even more ease than them.
In this interactive event, Dov Baron will show you…
- Why even the most accomplished leader can feel lost at the thought of stepping down
- Why contrary to what you may have been told; your best is Not behind you but ahead of you
- How to tap into the full and mostly untouched potential of who you are (beyond your past accolades)
- How to take the worst thing that happened to you and make it into the springboard that will propel you too new and greater heights
- Why stepping away is your golden ticket for future success
- How to discover and leverage these untouched resources so that you can make an even greater impact, become a hero again and create a powerful legacy!
If you are at that stage of life where you are expected to step down, but you know you’re not done… If you are ready to discover who you ‘are’ beyond the identity of who you ‘were’… If you suspect that your story, your experience could have tremendous value to those coming up, then this is the presentation for you. Because learning how to tell your story from this place will likely be the most powerful and empowering experience of your life, it is your legacy!
