THE LEADERSHIP PAYOFF:
How The Best Leaders Bring Out The Best in Others… And So Can You

Leadership has little or nothing to do with your title or your position. But it has everything to do with your ability to influence and bring out the best in others.

And it doesn’t matter if you’re an executive, a manager, a supervisor, a team leader, a committee member, or even a parent.  Your effectiveness in any of those roles will be dependent on your leadership savvy and your use of “The Payoff Principle.”

As a leader at any level, when you tap into your driving Purpose, share your contagious Passion, and engage the right Process, you generate an enormous Payoff: You trigger the other person’s motivation and cooperation.

This program reveals the Purpose and Passion techniques practiced by all highly effective leaders.  Effective leadership starts with a purpose-driven, take-charge attitude, which enables you to spread the vision, build the confidence, and encourage others to embrace change.

From there, you will deploy the exact Processes used by the best leaders to get the best results.  You’ll get the exact steps you need to build trust, show respect, inspire excellence, and motivate productivity in others … no matter what.  You will even learn how to hold others accountable and extinguish any lingering negativity in the workplace.

And unlike other leadership or motivational programs that merely focus on theory, this program focuses on the exact-how-to’s.  No guessing.  You’ll get time-tested, experience-proven strategies that engage the whole person and all of his talents.    And you will leave this program with lasting tools you can use the very next day … to get better results than ever before.
