Confessions of an Accidental Leader

Urgent World Changes Needed and Addressed by the “Millennial Generation”

In preparing for a strategic planning retreat with a nonprofit next week, who is looking to recruit, retain, and motivate the next generations, Generation “X” and Generation “We” or also called the Millennial generation, I discovered this phenomenal video. Watch it, be inspired, and, if you are of the “Boomer Generation” lament over the world we are turning over to our children and grandchildren, and then join me in doing something about it!

Generation WE: The Movement Begins… from Generation We on Vimeo .

This is a powerful reminder that what we do today, not only reflects on tomorrow, but has perilous consequences for our children, our planet, and the future.   Leadership is about change, and change just may take a new generation at the helm, who have more at stake than any other generation that has gone before them. Without a generation that is passionate to make a difference, this could be our last! Yet, if you’re like me, you’ll want to join their efforts, in whatever way possible, and “Be” the difference NOW.

One way I am working on making a difference is through training that inspires the generations on how to effectively work “with” one another, in order to engendering collaboration which elicit environments where creativity is used to discover the answers to the dilemmas we have created.

The Five Dysfunctions of a Team

THE FIVE DYSFUNCTIONS OF A TEAM gives you the framework for understanding how and why companies get really messed up, and what you as a leader can do to build a great work culture.   I am usually called in to revive a leader, or his/her team as a last resort.  Kind of like marriage counseling is to couples, they don’t get help until it’s almost too late.

If you want to expedite your leadership learning curve,  save thousands of dollars in consulting and coaching fees, then learn this material.  Then, call me to do a fun team building retreat, or a strategic plan instead of conflict resolution.  But if you’re already in the trenches with your employees firing at you from the enemy line, I do love a challenge.  Do know that if I can learn leadership principles that can turn an organization around, anyone can!  It’s not an accident you’re where you are, and it’s not failure to get the coaching you need before it’s urgent!  Enjoy the video . . .
