Leadership 
"Leadership is constantly changing, and
survivors learn to change with it."

knowledge is power.
Yesterday, leaders commanded and controlled.
Today, leaders empower and coach.
Yesterday, leaders were warriors. Today, they are
facilitators.
Yesterday, leaders directed. Today, leaders
delegate.

Leadership

others to dream more,
learn more, do more,
and become more, you
are a leader”

process of leaders and followers
to achieve organizational
objectives through change

Workforce Management
Management is more
than getting work done through people. It is
developing people through work. If you want to
improve your workforce management, then
you need to improve the way you lead people.

influence…

““ The process of influencing others to understand and
agree about what needs to be done and how to do it, and
the process of facilitating individual and collective efforts to
accomplish shared objectives” (Yuk, 2006).
