Here is what the Research Says:

Leadership Development transforms the way we do business.“Leaders who express more positive emotions in turn stimulate the same emotions in followers, who then perceive the leader as more charismatic and effective.”– Bono and Ilies (2006)

“Leader hope is associated with follower satisfaction and retention.” Peterson & Luthans, 2003

“At the organizational level, an authentic approach to leading is found to be related to positive outcomes in the human enterprise, including higher levels of self-esteem, psychological well-being, enhanced feelings of friendliness and elevated performance.” Grandey, Fiske, Mattila, Jansen, & Sideman, 2005

“Through increased self-awareness, self-regulation and positive modeling, authentic leaders foster the development of authenticity in followers. In turn, followers’ authenticity contributes to their well-being and the attainment of sustainable and veritable performance.”– Gardner, Avolio, Luthans, May and Walumba 2005

“Authentic leaders are ‘good in their skin,’ so good they don’t feel a need to impress or please others. They not only inspire those around them, they bring people together around a shared purpose and a common set of values and motivate them to create value for everyone involved.” – Bill George, Harvard Business Journal

Our Approach: Authentic Leadership & Communication, and Positive Engagement

Lead, build trust, and have a team of YOU ambassadors who exceed performance goals by learning and practicing the principles of Authentic Leadership.

The four core elements of authenticity are:

  • Self-Awareness. You know what is important to you, whether it is values, identity, emotions, goals or motives.
  • Balanced Processing. You can consider multiple sides of an issue and analyze all relevant information before making a decision.
  • Relational Authenticity. You and your team are transparent and genuinely invested in building authentic relationships with each other, and within the organization.
  • Authentic Behavior. Simply stated, you are you and your actions, words and displayed emotions are a representation and validation to it.

Positive Engagement and Teams: The Losada Line 3:1

Your Small Business Coach will help you learn how to empower your team with Leadership Development skills.A decade of research on high and low performance teams, by psychologist Marcial Losada found the minimum positive to negative ratio for a successful team is 3:1. This means that it takes about three positive comments, interactions, experiences or expressions to fend off the languishing effects of one negative. Dip below this level, known as the Losada Line, and workplace performance quickly suffers. Rise above it, and the results are predictably positive. Get your team performance to a 6:1 and your team is performing at peak levels!
