“Pride is an intangible force that drives human capital unlike any other. Investing time and energy into building both organizational, individual and even Community pride will provide greater dividends than any other tool in a leader’s tool kit. Building pride leads to higher morale, increased participation in problem solving and a sense of ownership that creates a “the Department is a reflection of me” attitude. It drives citzens to take care of their homes, clean up parks and give their best in a community…in short, if can be a magic force!” Below are four videos that will unpack how to instill, cultivate and deploy pride as a performance tool.

To be a catalyst for the renaissance today’s effective leader utilizes a big picture, holistic, systems thinking approach.
Below you will find a number of “systems” that will assist you in being great at what you do!
A system for maximizing the use of your time.
Time is a perishable commodity, it is the only thing that “winners” and “losers” have in common…we all have 24 hours in a day, 7 days in a week and 365 days in a year, it is what we do with our time that set us apart. It is critical for today’s leader to have a great system for the use of their time…for their mental health, sustainability and the well-being of those around them!
A system for effective interpersonal communication.
The majority of what we do in life is communicate and so much of stress and difficulty is rooted in poor communication skills.
A system for effective delegation.
To be effective we must have a system for delegation, one that is easy to deploy and can be used throughout those you lead.
A system motivating others into action.
Motivation is one of the most over-discussed and misunderstood aspects of leadership there is. Here Ian has given us a system for the “moving of others into action”.
