Authentic Leadership Institute - Finding Your True North

Speaker Topics

Authentic Leadership (60-90 minutes)

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

Nick Craig will talk about a proven program of field-tested strategies and accessible tools based on his work with Bill George and the research done at Harvard Business School 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 stay 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 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 one’s values, purpose, and beliefs, it is through choosing both that the most successful and sustainable companies are thriving in the 21st century.
