The Book Stuff
What is leadership? This lesson will briefly review concepts and leadership principles to ensure we all start on an even playing field and are able to discuss the topic using the same terminology.

A Leaders Approach
Don't overthink it - we just need people to do what we want them to do. We'll work on our approach to leadership situations both internally and externally and find ways to improve. Topics include the intent or objective of interactions, characteristics and traits, the communication process, self-awareness of unconscious influences, ego and emotions, setting expectations, consistency, appropriately holding the line as the "boss", and more.

Organizational Values & General Management
Great leaders can't get bogged down worrying about the decisions they make. With an understanding of organizational values, expectations, policy, and other general management elements, leaders will gain insight into everyday interactions that lead to desirable incomes.

Barriers & Challenges
We'll discuss barriers to achieving leadership excellence. Real world examples you've faced will be the focus of this lesson. We'll be sure to discuss strategies to overcome both disruptive and under-engaged employees, how individual perception impacts communication, empathy related to interactions, and systems for approaching uncertain scenarios with confidence.

Summary
We'll review core concepts and field questions.
