ISPI Conference 2013

I had the opportunity to attend the ISPI (International Society for Performance Improvement) Conference in Reno, Nevada.

What wonderful speakers!

I enjoyed the following sessions:

Creating a culture of accountability The key to accountability starts with management. Leaders must lead by example and focus on re-designing a culture of accountability. Re-design must occur within the culture and possibly re-design of physical environment.

What is Leadership? Transactional vs. Tranformational Leadership

Transactional Leadership is focused on the planning, organizing, coordinating, directing and controlling. This type of leaders source of influence is based on position or command of authority.

Transformational Leadership engages followers beyond their self interest by recognizing existing needs, arousing and satisfying higher order needs. This type of leaders source of influence is based on visioning, values, role modeling, confidence building and communication. Key attribute is enabling employees to reach their full potential.
