Authentic Leadership Institute - Finding Your True North

Speaker Topics

Authentic Leadership (60-90 minutes)

Thousands of studies have attempted to determine the perfect mix of leadership styles, skills, and personality traits that define great leaders. While many leadership approaches have been derived from this research, most offer a “one-size fits all” prescription of skills, competencies, strengths or models. Far too often, this cure-all approach neglects to take the individual into account, delivering disappointing results.

Nick Craig talks about a proven program of field-tested strategies and accessible tools based on his work with Bill George and Harvard Business School research to help you discover your own unique and authentic leadership model. Achieve long-term, positive transformation by learning how to stay true to your authentic self, define personal values and principles, understand your motivations, build a support team, and remain grounded by integrating all aspects of life.

The Business Results of Authentic Leadership (60-90 minutes)

In this speech, Nick helps a group understand how achieving sustainable business results in the 21st century is synonymous with the key elements of Authentic Leadership. The models that worked in the 20th century for leadership are no longer adequate to the task at hand. Instead of choosing between getting results and your values, purpose, and beliefs, it is through choosing both that the most successful and sustainable companies are thriving in the 21st century.
