Do you still use a landline with rotary dial to make telephone calls? No! You should not be
using mid-20th Century leadership practices either!

Twentieth century leadership practices are no longer effective. In today's dynamic business
landscape, marked by hybrid and remote work, our greatest challenge isn't just managing
effectively—it's leading with trust. For 21 st century workplaces, the key to success lies in this
trust-based leadership.

Why? Because trusted employees are committed employees. To enhance retention by up to
65% and increase productivity by as much as 50%, we need to cultivate Engaged Leadership
skills alongside traditional management capabilities.

How do we cultivate the Engaged Leadership skills which can engender trust? The answer lies in
learning and practice. This workshop uses real stories from industry to illustrate the differences
between engaged and disengaged leadership practices, between empowered and
disempowered teams, and between trusted and untrusted cultures.
