If you haven’t discovered the concept of Servant Leadership you are not alone. The modern servant leadership movement was launched by Robert K. Greenleaf in his 1970 essay, “The Servant as Leader”, and although this management style has been around for years the concepts and underlying philosophies were often practiced in ‘Faith Based’ businesses and organizations. But this is now changing ……

Companies that have adopted the principles of Servant Leadership (sometimes known as the New Golden Rule). Companies are quickly discovering that the philosophies, if honestly adopted:

  • Create intensely positive supportive relationships,
  • Fiercely loyal employee employer relationships,
  • Intensified productivity,
  • Sustainable growth and
  • Higher profits.

Join Ken and Colleen for this informative session on a new way to create success in your organization!

Discover a Different Way to Create Success

Servant leadership requires acknowledging people, backing people up and treating people as business partners—in short, “leading with love.” It is not soft management; it’s smart management.

When leaders focus on positive relationships in addition to profits, they end up with an abundance of both.

Join business guru Ken Blanchard and Southwest Airlines president emeritus Colleen Barrett as they explore the keys to creating an organizational culture that achieves and sustains high performance.

During this program you’ll hear about the leadership secrets that have propelled Southwest Airlines and other great companies to unparalleled success.


What You Will Learn:

Drawing from their new book, Lead with LUV, these two legendary leaders will explain what this all means, why it works and how it can help you achieve unprecedented business performance:

  • What “leading with love” looks like within an organizational context
  • How to build the right vision and help your people succeed in the long term

While attending this program is FREE, reservations are required.

Collaborative Project Management

Recorded Webcast & Ebook
Presenter: Brightwork
Duration: Up to 1.5 Category C Free (30 Min Webcast 1 hour EBook)

The Webcast: Recorded: February 24 2011

Project management is a discipline, and as such can be quite difficult without the proper training. Some project managers have had formal training (for example PMI’s PMBOK or PRINCE2) and some lucky project managers instinctively know how to initiate, manage and close projects to success. Many project managers however, are thrown into the deep end with little or no training.

At BrightWork we believe we can assist such project managers with a step-by-step, how-to guide. Our Collaborative Project Management Guide is simple and easy to follow, and describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project.

The EBook:

BrightWork has authored an easy to follow and simple to use eBook for Project Managers who are not yet formally trained in Collaborative Project Management or who may not have the time or budget to get trained.

The eBook describes the typical stages, steps and sub-steps involved in starting, setting up, managing and closing a typical project. The eBook also has a section on Project Management Leadership style.

Note, whilst experienced project managers may find the eBook to be introductory in nature, they may learn something from it and might find it an especially useful starting point for creating internal training for their new project managers.
