Northstar Learning and Knowledge Institute for Leaders and Managers

Research reveals that 38% of your
executives, managers and salespeople are
actively looking to leave your organization
today. Do you know which ones and why?
What are you doing about it?  
... Ken Edmundson

This fact gives added insight to why leadership is so challenging. Did you know that there is one critical component always present in every consistently successful organization's growth?  Organizations, those that grow 20% a year in all market conditions, continually  learn and then assimilate the learning faster than their competition! Learning is the key to growing successfully, profitably and gracefully. Yet most organizations have no discernable plan for learning and no plan for teaching their people how to get better. Teach your teams, help them individually to learn something they would not have learned had they not known you ... give them opportunities to grow ... make them better by making them learners. The Northstar Learning  and Knowledge Institute for Leaders and Managers was created to be your in-house leadership and management learning center for whatever period of time and for those specific areas of challenge you sense can most dramatically impact your company. Although you don't owe your people lifetime employment, you do owe them lifetime employability, and training is the most powerful and effective method for developing employee loyalty.

You should talk to us if your leaders and managers are open to learning things such as:

  • Teamwork - It is not finance. Not strategy. Not technology. It is Teamwork that remains the ultimate competitive winning strategy.
  • The Four Ego State Model of Communication - Do you know how much it costs a company when its top people are unable to access their two optimum ego states because they are locked in their two ineffective ego states and cannot get out of them ... learning to access your most effective ego states will revolutionize how you think, listen, make decisions and, therefore, communicate.
  • Personal Accountability - Learning the life changing impact of Personal Accountability developed by John Miller, The Question Behind the Question, building an organization that is blame free, victim thinking free and procrastination free.

  • Leadership Modeling - Learn the most effective leadership models that the best minds in the world have created.
  • Management That Really Works - Which corporate management practices really work and why?

  • Managing People for Competitive Advantage - Organizations are not just economic entities, but social as well. Learning to cultivate the culture based on belief in people can stimulate employees to produce extraordinary results.
  • Fatal Ascent - Leadership lessons from the 1996 Mount Everest tragedy.

  • Return on Management - Understanding the critical relationship between releasing productive energy and leveraging time effectively.

  • Winners (Don't) Take All - Understanding how to focus on creating value can lead to a better deal for both parties. Prepare for and behave in your negotiation.
  • Strategy is Destiny - A Perspective on Strategic Leadership - Understand why leaders need strategy and identify the characteristics that make an action strategic.

  • Why Customers Matter - Understand the need for good customer satisfaction measures and promote the positive customer's behavior to increase profitability and identify your target customers and defined strategies to increase that number.
  • Fostering the Innovation - 11-l/2 Weird Ideas that Work - Recognize how encouraging innovation differs sharply from supporting routine work. Identify the type of people you need to drive innovation in your organization and manage your workforce so that innovation is supported rather than stifled.
