Session #: 337-W109
Presenter(s): Dan Clemens Session Length: 1:15 hr. Event: 2007 ASTD International Conference & Expo Date: June 3-6, 2007
Rushed or poised; React or Respond; knee-jerk or considered? What's your leadership Response? When confronted with a problem or opportunity, do you Respond to the whole situation or React to your narrow experience of it? Effective leaders achieve results because they understand the critical differences between a Wise Response and a hasty Reaction. A Reaction is a reflex - impulsive action based on an awareness of, and a solution for, only a narrow slice" of the situation. A Response however, is a Wiser course of action, encompassing the complexities of people and circumstances to accomplish goals based on a more thorough understanding of the whole situation. Through engaging activities and dialogues with other audience members, discover how this difference leads to leadership success or failure. You'll begin to develop your own habit of Responding Wisely to challenges and opportunities and boost your performance in key areas of leadership: relationships, productivity, teamwork, resiliency, empowerment, and the ability to motivate and influence others. Become an inspired leader who Responds, rather than Reacts, to challenges."
