Zenger Folkman to Hold The Extraordinary Leader™ Public Workshops in Philadelphia, PA.

Feb. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- OREM, Utah —Feb. 10, 2011— Zenger Folkman will be conducting a session of their award-winning leadership development program, The Extraordinary Leader in Philadelphia, PA on April 27,  2011. This workshop will provide a way for Learning and Development executives to experience Zenger Folkman’s one-day interactive, instructor-led workshop. Delivery mechanisms include 360-degree feedback discovery, experiential learning, short lectures, group discussions and practice sessions to engage and educate both established and emerging leaders.

Based on the best-selling book, The Extraordinary Leader by Drs. Jack Zenger and Joe Folkman, this program draws on data from more than 200,000 individuals who rated more than 25,000 leaders in a wide range of companies and industries. From that research, the authors prove that the effectiveness of an organization's leaders has a direct impact on employee commitment, customer satisfaction, innovation and ultimately profitability. Bill Blase senior VP of HR for AT&T Corp stated: “The Zenger Folkman leadership model is distinguished from others in that it is backed up by research and data. That data validates the effectiveness of identifying an individual’s strengths and developing them, rather than focusing on weaknesses. The Zenger Folkman philosophy has its eye on the right goal—real, measurable results.”
The Extraordinary Leader program presents a proven framework for helping individuals make a profound difference in their own effectiveness and performance, and the success of the organization. In the workshop, participants will:

•   Learn a cross-training approach to leadership development
•   Understand how extraordinary leaders can double profits
•   Utilize personal 360-degree feedback to identify key strengths
•   Create an action-oriented development plan that facilitates goal setting & follow through
•   Learn to apply leadership development in daily, on-the-job activities

Author Jack Zenger stated that “by learning how to become an extraordinary leader, participants will be equipped to help organizations drive higher levels of employee engagement, build customer loyalty, and significantly boost the bottom line.”

If you are a key decision maker in your organization and looking to drive positive business results, you are invited to experience The Extraordinary Leader Workshop and witness how it can help turn your good managers into great leaders.
