Leader Follower Relationships: The Workplace Dance

The one workshop every workplace leader and every follower should take, this powerful interactive half-day unpacks the 5 timeless conditions of healthy productive leader / follower relationships. During this employee version of the Workplace Dance, participants discover how to build stronger, more satisfying relationships with the men and women they report to, along the way becoming more valued team members and building more successful careers.

In a North American culture that dislikes authority and places high value on personal freedoms, a great many people do not know how to follow well, or even what this simple but provocative phrase really means. The result is corporate chaos, discord, resistance to change, and discontent.

This workshop material also makes a great keynote speech for retreats and corporate gatherings.

Workshop Highlights:

• A new way of looking at the organization as a corporate body that will change the way employees see accountability and their place as a part of something bigger.
• The way our culture negatively influences the workplace experience.
• Five powerful conditions that define strong leader / follower relationships.
• The characteristics of good direction.
• The trap of buy-in and the far more powerful principle of acceptance.
• The keys to resolving differences constructively.
• Three powerful reasons everyone must know how to follow.

Working on leader / follower relationships is working on the organization at its most powerful, most elemental level - get these right and you'll gain a competitive advantage that is hard to match. You'll build a change friendly culture and high performance as you discover how to attract, motivate and retain talent.

"Dan Gaynor's capacity to tailor his material to each specific audience is just one of the great reasons that made yesterday's workshop so rich and dynamic. Under the title "The Heart & Hands of Leadership", Dan skilfully shared with his audience of Team Leaders from the Alzheimer Society of Calgary his many years of experience as a successful leader and trainer. His sound, yet simple insight into the field of leadership will serve as a solid platform on which to build the future stages of our organization."
