Leadership: Texas Hold 'Em Style, 5 Cards for Employee Performance August 25, 2009

We're bringing this best-selling author to you for a 90-minute workshop jam-packed with tools for a novel leadership style. Gain a totally new perspective on leadership through a dynamic mix of Foster's perspective, reflection and 50 years of experience. Walk away with practical tools to put to use immediately.

This is not an academic approach to leadership, but rather a road-tested guide. Rather than all fact and no flavor, the game of poker is used as a lens through which to view leadership concepts.

Like the player at the table, we all draw for the same deck. Your employees come from the same pool as your competitors. Your edge is leadership; leading your people beyond your competitors through increased performance, innovation and loyalty. In this workshop Raymond E. Foster will use his latest book, Leadership: Texas Hold ‘em Style, to give you a Full House.

What will I learn?
Using five chapters from his book, Raymond will give you five practical, sound and doable leadership chips.

• Goal of Leadership (Two of Spades)
• Teamwork (Two of Diamonds)
• Leadership Approaches (King of Spades)
• Morale (King of Hearts)
• Building Loyalty (King of Diamonds)

Most often leaders find they are given a set of resources people, equipment, funds, experience and a mission. As Foster noted, "You're dealt a certain hand. How you play that hand as a leader determines your success."
