LSSD Program

The LEAD Institute is excited to announce our newest leadership development program: Leadership Skill & Style Development (LSSD). This program is designed around specific leadership tools, skills and concepts. The goal of the program is to assist today’s leaders in better matching their leadership approach to the performance needs of the organization as well as the motivational and skill levels of their followers. LSSD is designed around the following four focus areas that are comprised of proven concepts, tools and skills.

Work Unit Performance Improvement Focus. This is the initial and central area of focus for the training; all other focus areas are related back to employee and work unit performance. Participants learn how to differentiate, isolate and improve the critical factors that impact employee performance.

Personal Style & Interpersonal Skills Focus. In this focus area participants gain an in depth understanding of their personal style at work. They learn when and how to better leverage their strengths, confront their liabilities and develop strategies for increasing their personal effectiveness at work. A benefit to deeper personal awareness is the ability to better initiate and manage interpersonal relationships at work. Participants strengthen their communication effectiveness by applying the principles of assertiveness; adult-to-adult communication, building rapport, listening skills and effective nonverbal communication.

Leading & Managing Others Effectively Focus. In this focus area participants learn techniques for bringing about greater levels of employee motivation and performance. Participants learn to evaluate the needs of employees and then when and how to apply the leadership approaches of Director, Coach, Counselor and Delegator. For each of these four leadership approaches participants are given specific tools for application skill practice using them.

Leading & Facilitating Teams Focus. In this focus area participants learn how to increase performance and employee commitment through better teamwork, work unit cooperation and interdependence. Participants learn concepts and skills for building teams, managing conflicts, making decisions in teams, empowering and facilitation meetings.
