Leadership Team Building What HTG is Learning Israel

Leadership & Team Building What HTG is Learning Israel Lang

Where to begin…

What is your definition of leadership?

Five Key Roles • Owners – business value (what are we building? ) • Leaders – vision (where we headed? ) (are we doing the right things? ) • Managers – execution (how will we get there? ) (are we doing things right? ) • Teams – collaboration (how will we work together? ) • Individuals – contribution (how do I most effectively make an impact using my skills? )

Building a Culture of Leadership Development 1. Define It- Your organization’s working definition of leadership 2. Teach it- Does your team know the definition? Are you equipping them with the skills to succeed?

Building a Culture of Leadership Development 3. Practice it- Provide opportunities for your team to lead something 4. Model, coach, and mentor it
