    When we do management and leadership development, we like to invite the managers involved, as well as employee leaders, to look at extremes of leadership styles. The process also distinguishes somewhat between management and leadership.

    History of Enlightened Leadership Solutions
    The best place to begin is where we got our name.
    The Allied Forces had just won a quick and decisive victory in the first Gulf War. The efficiency and the effectiveness of the forces were notable. One of our principals was watching CNN interview one of the Generals in Saudi Arabia .
    The General who shared his observations and analysis on why the Allied Forces were so successful commented: The chain of command has empowered the armed forces in the field to get the job done. Decisions are being made at the battle front, not by the brass in Washington . Now thats enlightened leadership.
    Three years later, the book was published by Simon & Schuster. The book is in its 31st printing and has sold over 230,000 copies worldwide.
    What weve learned is a profound demonstration about the power of human capital, and unleashing that power is at the very core of our work.

    Philosophy of Enlightened Leadership Solutions
    We believe that people are the cornerstone to success. People are the single biggest opportunity to realize performance gains without expending or investing in additional resources.
    Attitude, alignment, communication, focus and commitment are critical differentiators between those who thrive and those who just survive. We consistently find that individuals, teams, and organizations who execute these areas well, out-perform those who may have more technical knowledge or talent.
    We believe that what makes people tick doesnt change much from company to company. The behavior that is driven by management philosophy, culture, process, systems, procedures, and structure is unique to each organization. Research has concluded that cultural alignment is a significant factor behind failed mergers and executive retention. Much of the knowledge we have gained over the years will impact individual performance. Organizational performance is further dependent on what, how, and when that knowledge is applied to those unique organizational factors.
    We also believe that innovation and knowledge transference is critical and that the greatest measure of our success is how fast organizations integrate and apply the capabilities that we initially provide them. Our goal is to create independence, not dependence on us for success. We are a catalyst and guide for change, not the holder of the process. The more organizations are accountable for success, the greater and more sustaining the performance improvements. Developing that accountability is an important part of our work.

    Best regards,

    IncidentManagementBootCamp 1

    Posted by admin on March 24th, 2010 and filed under corporate organization | 1 Comment »

    Responding to incidents within a corporate organization is a stressful and critical responsibility. During an incident, incident response managers and their team are watched, evaluated, and are expected to be able to lead. You do not want to be ill prepared. This boot camp is intended to assist designated incident managers before an incident by providing on-hand experience and guidelines on the entire process of managing of the incident. It covers situations which will require response techniques, coordination, communication and decision making. By applying the experiences absorbed through this boot camp and customizing them for ones own unique environment, your organization will benefit from a very efficient and controlled incident management, as well as short resolution times and increase the organizations knowledge through the lessons learned.

    ACS – Running Learning like a Business

    Posted by admin on March 21st, 2010 and filed under business organization | No Comments »

    Across the globe, many learning organizations view themselves as overhead or manage themselves against a set of metrics that are about volume and activity levels. Ed Trolley, author of Running Learning like a Business, recognized that businesses were having trouble interacting with training organizations because the language, behaviors and measures of success were drastically different. His proposed solution is simple: run training like any other business.

    The foundations of his solution are effectiveness and efficiency. An effective training organization will get more than a dollar back for every dollar they spend, adding value to the business. An efficient training organization will operate at acceptable, not lowest, cost.

    In the value chain of training activities, many companies mistakenly focus on the activities that add little value to the larger organization. This does not mean that you stop doing low value-added activities because there are many important functions that don’t add value. However, if you were to plot these different functions on a graph it would look like a camel’s hump. This ‘camel chart’ can reveal the high value activities that should receive more resources than the low value-added activities.

    Partners For Progress- The Power of Story

    Posted by admin on February 10th, 2010 and filed under organization strategy | No Comments »

    Storytelling is described as a tool or technique used to talk about a story as a strategy for competitive advantage. The challenge for organizations is to move away from talking about storytelling and incorporating it into two places within the business:
    - Different workshops or classes
    - Into the processes where business is conducted

    After storytelling is incorporated, the message should be taken to the leadership within the organization and address three areas where it could benefit the organization:
    1. Move forward strategy for the organization as a whole
    2. Sales and marketing
    3. Branding

    It is also important to understand where the systems fit into the work process, and how they could benefit from a competency perspective.

    A few years ago, DDI was struggling to embed the organization’s three strategic priorities in employee thinking. An employee in the communications department came up with the idea to turn in six stories every two weeks, two stories on each of the three strategic priorities. The idea was to send a story on a Friday afternoon in a voicemail. Employees could do any of the following:
    - Listen in real-time
    - Save it and listen to it later
    - Download it to their computers
    - Download them online

    The President loved the idea and currently, each employee knows the three strategic priorities.

    Tracy Huston- Coaching, Leadership Development, Facilitation

    Posted by admin on January 17th, 2010 and filed under leadership organization | No Comments »

    Tracy Huston argues that training is comfortable but that it does not change behavior very much. If this is true, this leads to the question of why we do we continue to do it? A group of CEOs came together through the Society for Organizational Learning to discuss this as well as how to develop and sustain a learning organization culture.
