Intensive leader development programs dedicated to enhancing interpersonal dynamics in your top leaders. Leaders play a vital role in shaping the workplace culture, role modeling desirable employee behavior and growing workforce engagement. While most leaders have risen on the basis of their technical competence or business acumen, many are challenged in the area of emotional awareness which has been identified as the critical attribute influencing leader effectiveness. Successful CEO leadership requires astuteness about others: their emotional and strategic personal drivers; their self-interest, overt and covert. These relationship competencies rest on a foundation of self-knowledge, self-awareness. And you can't know the truth about another without knowing it about yourself. Self-knowledge and the relational competencies they're linked with are central to a CEO's ability to formulate, articulate and lead a strategic vision for a motivated, energized organization. Self-knowledge builds clarity about objectives; it fine-tunes one's understanding the perspectives, values, aims and personality traits of others. When that's lacking, you often see discord and conflict among members of the senior management team; or between some of its members and the CEO. The Asterion Executive Leadership Development Program (AELDP) can significantly enhance the emotional awareness and interpersonal effectiveness of your leaders. Benefits of Building Self-Awareness: Self-awareness builds from honest self-appraisal about emotional strengths and vulnerabilities; your values and attitudes, personality traits and unresolved conflicts. You're a total person, not just a set of skills performing a role. The emotionally detached, un-empathic person, unaware of his or her personal motives or truths is not going to be very effective as a CEO or senior leader. We see examples of the consequences from time-to-time, when a CEO resigns or is fired. There is no “cookie cutter” approach with this system. Each program is built around the unique attributes and challenges of your organization’s leaders and high potentials, as well as your workplace culture. The AELDP is a highly customized, skill-based leadership development initiative that incorporates the following features and benefits: • Increased self-awareness, honest self-knowledge, about one's motives, personality capacities and values. • Intuition refinement • Strategies for successful collaboration and conflict resolution
