Beyond Permission to Lead

Leaders at all levels eventually face a moment of paralysis. The weight of decision-making lands full on your shoulders—the benefit/cost, success/failure, second-guessing of it all. We are tempted to stand aside, allow others to push and pull us along, envisioning and deciding our collective future, while we sneer from the sidelines and jeer from the peanut gallery, a pale shadow of our former selves, leading the disgruntled and unengaged. For leaders who wish to throw off this miserable mantle and help others do the same, we offer a course of study and practice to challenge individuals, teams, and hierarchies to reinvent and reenergize bold direction, courageous ownership, and impassioned engagement.

We begin with the Law of Empowerment, examining its components as enacted in the enterprise, developing a common language for moving forward, and practicing a mutual methodology to revitalize decision-making, autonomy, and accountability. Our ‘Do-Tank’ process brings real-world needs to the floor at the close of each 4-part series to strengthen transfer-of-learning from classroom to organization.
