Enable and Energize: Create an Environment for People to Excel
Practical tools to foster top performance from every employee
In their trusted book, The Leadership Challenge, authors Kouzes
and Posner share their research and the five leadership
practices, critical in today’s workplace. This class examines two
of the practices – Enable Others to Act and Encourage the Heart.
While straightforward, most managers find the
exercise of these exemplary practices much more difficult.
Through practical exercises participants study the building of
trust, facilitation of relationships and practices to develop
capacity in others. Recognizing one cannot motivate others, but
can create an environment in which every employee feels
motivated, the class looks at tools for recognizing contributions
and commitments to shared values.
