Overview

Leading change and delivering results in the Federal Government is a challenge that requires managers to navigate the fine line between necessary controls and bureaucratic paralysis. This is exactly what Captain Mike Abrashoff experiencedwhen he took command of the USS Benfold. Using GrassRoots Leadership, a principle that empowers every individual to share the responsibility for achieving excellence, he produced outstanding results. Mike would tell his people, "It's your ship," to encourage them to give their best effort in the interest of the organization.

The strategies and tools behind the Benfold's success are brought to life in this seminar. Presenters have decades of experience teaching enlightened leadership principles and provide insightful debriefings of your pre-seminar assessment. This transformational experience serves equally well as a foundational seminar for those being groomed for leadership or as a refresher seminar for upperlevel managers.
